At today's price of $10.98 that is a yield of 5.37%, based on dividends already paid, not a forecast. ## Which stock lists is Public Policy Holding on? Public Policy Holding is not in the Nasdaq 100, the S&P 500 or the Dow Jones 30, and is not on the US tech stocks list. ## Is Public Policy Holding profitable? Public Policy Holding Company, Inc. posted a net loss of $4.8 M in the Jun 2026 quarter. The full FY25 year was a loss of $41.4 M. That loss is 9.2% of the quarter's revenue. The same quarter a year earlier lost $7.5 M. 12 of the last 12 reported quarters were loss-making. ## How much revenue does Public Policy Holding make, and is it growing? Public Policy Holding Company, Inc. reported $52.1 M of revenue in the Jun 2026 quarter, +7.3% on the same quarter a year earlier. That is the 12th quarter in a row with growth on the year before. Over 4 years it has grown 17.1% a year on average. The last full year, FY25, came in at $187 M. The last four reported quarters add to $201 M. FY25 revenue was $187 M, +24.7% on the year before. Recent pace: the last four quarters grew +21.6% on average, against 17.1% a year over the longer run, so this year is growing faster than its own long-run rate. Is growth speeding up? Revenue over the last 12 months grew +20.8%, against +19.6% a year over the last 8 quarters (stabilising). ## How much of every $100 of sales does Public Policy Holding keep? Public Policy Holding Company, Inc.'s operating margin was −4.2% in the Jun 2026 quarter, 2.2 percentage points higher than the same quarter a year ago. Across 5 years it has been between −23.9% and −3.1%. The latest quarter is within that range. Why the margin moved: operating margin changed +2.2 percentage points on the year while gross margin changed +5.3 points. So the gain came mostly from the gross margin, which means input costs and prices charged. ## Is Public Policy Holding's profit turning into cash? Public Policy Holding Company, Inc.'s cash-flow history is too short to judge how much of its profit turns into cash. In FY25 it brought in $24.8 M of operating cash against −$41.4 M of profit. After $11.0 K of spending on assets, $24.8 M was left over as free cash. Cash-flow figures here are yearly, because quarterly cash statements are not published, so this section changes once a year. What to look at next: the main use of cash is spending on assets. The next section checks what that spending is building. ## Where does Public Policy Holding's cash go? Public Policy Holding Company, Inc. does not report the customer, stock and supplier day counts a cash cycle needs, so this section looks at its spending on assets instead. It spent $300 K on assets over the last 3 years. Averaged over those years that is 0.1% of FY25 revenue a year. Nothing is estimated in place of the missing day counts, so no cash-cycle chart is drawn. Spending on assets: $300 K over the last 3 years. In short: most of the cash goes on covering the loss, not on new assets; spending on assets is small next to it. ## What is Public Policy Holding's P/E ratio, and how does it compare with its own history? Public Policy Holding Company, Inc. has no P/E right now, because its earnings are negative. The revenue and margin sections are where a turn would show first. Measured against sales instead, the market values Public Policy Holding Company, Inc. at 1.8× its FY25 revenue of $187 M. The P/E comes back here once profit turns positive. ## Is the Public Policy Holding business getting better or worse? Public Policy Holding Company, Inc.'s business trend cannot be read yet. There are fewer than eight usable quarters of growth figures, so there is not enough history to read the trend. This is based on 12 quarters of 2 measures, with some gaps. Why it matters: with too little history, we say so rather than guess a direction. There are fewer than eight usable quarters, so this page does not guess a direction from so little history. ## How much does Public Policy Holding earn on its capital? Public Policy Holding Company, Inc. earned a ROE of −55% in FY25. Its return on capital used (ROIC) is 9.6 percentage points below its cost of capital, so growth here does not yet pay for the capital it uses. It comes from a −22.2% net margin and 0.92× asset turnover (sales divided by assets). Why the return is what it is (FY25): a −22.2% net margin × 0.92× asset turnover × 2.70× leverage (assets divided by equity) ≈ −55.1% on equity. The margin does its share; borrowing is a big part of it. The key test, return on capital used minus the cost of capital: −5.5% − 4.1% = −9.6 percentage points. The 4.1% is an estimate of this company's own cost of capital. Read the sign and size of the gap, not the decimals. Negative: growth at these returns loses value until returns improve. ## Does Public Policy Holding have too much debt? Public Policy Holding Company, Inc. has total debt of $72.3 M against shareholder equity of $111 M as of Jun 2026, so its debt is 0.65× its equity. Year by year, that ratio went from 0.30 in FY21 to 0.91 in FY25. Keep that borrowing in mind when reading the returns on this page. ## What is the Public Policy Holding shareholding pattern? 3.1% of Public Policy Holding Company, Inc.'s tradable shares are in short positions, which are bets that the price will fall, so some traders are betting against it. At normal trading volumes, closing those positions would take about 1.9 days. US companies do not publish a quarter-by-quarter list of owners, so this page uses short interest instead. It is a single reading at one point in time; we do not have its history. Why it is at this level: the figure does not say who holds the short positions or why, so we show the level without guessing the story. ## How far is Public Policy Holding from balance-sheet trouble? For Public Policy Holding Company, Inc., the Z-score is 1.27. A Z-score above about 3 is safe and below about 1.8 signals danger, so this is in the danger zone. It estimates how far the balance sheet is from trouble; it is not a forecast of failure. Why it matters: a Z-score of 1.27 is inside the danger zone, so the balance sheet is a real risk. ## How does Public Policy Holding rank in its industry?
