The main question: the share price moved +26.9% in a year while yearly earnings per share moved −8.7%. The difference came from the market paying a higher multiple. ## What is the Taylor Devices share price today? Taylor Devices, Inc.'s share price was $58.99 at the close on 4 November 2026. That is 4.1% below its average price over the last 200 trading days. In the last 52 weeks it traded between $43 and $90, and at that close it sat 34% of the way up from that low. Over the past 13 weeks it has done better than the S&P 500, and it has stayed ahead for 3 weeks in a row. Over the last 1 year the share price moved +29% while the S&P 500 moved +23%, so it is ahead of the index over that whole period. The chart above shows the 13-week comparison for every week. This page treats a rise as over when the price closes below its 200-day average on two Fridays in a row. ## What dividend does Taylor Devices pay? Taylor Devices, Inc. pays no dividend. In the last 12 reported quarters it declared no dividend per share, so there is no payout history to chart and no yield to show. Companies like this usually keep their earnings in the business, so the cash-flow sections show where that cash goes. ## Which stock lists is Taylor Devices on? Taylor Devices 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 Taylor Devices profitable? Taylor Devices, Inc. earned $457 K of net profit in the Aug 2026 quarter, −79.1% on the same quarter a year earlier. Full-year FY26 profit was $8.6 M. Over 5 years profit has grown 51.8% a year on average. That is 6.3% of the quarter's revenue. The same quarter a year earlier earned $2.2 M. For the full year, FY26 profit was $8.6 M (−9.0% on the year before). Why profit moved: revenue changed −26.4% on a year earlier and the margin moved −22.1 percentage points. Sales did the work while the margin got thinner. On average over the last four quarters, profit changed −3.4% and revenue −6.8%. Profit is growing faster than sales: fixed costs are spread over more sales, so each extra dollar of revenue adds more to profit. ## How much revenue does Taylor Devices make, and is it growing? Taylor Devices, Inc. reported $7.3 M of revenue in the Aug 2026 quarter, −26.4% on the same quarter a year earlier. Over 5 years it has grown 13.1% a year on average. The last full year, FY26, came in at $41.6 M. The last four reported quarters add to $39.0 M. FY26 revenue was $41.6 M, −10.0% on the year before. Recent pace: the last four quarters grew −6.8% on average, against 13.1% a year over the longer run, so this year is growing slower than its own long-run rate. Is growth speeding up? Revenue over the last 12 months grew −12.5%, against −8.2% a year over the last 8 quarters (rolling over); profit over the last 12 months grew −23.6%, against −16.6% a year (rolling over). ## How much of every $100 of sales does Taylor Devices keep? Taylor Devices, Inc.'s operating margin was 0.5% in the Aug 2026 quarter, 22.1 percentage points lower than the same quarter a year ago. Across 6 years it has been between −10.4% and 21.3%. The latest quarter is within that range. Why the margin moved: operating margin changed −22.1 percentage points on the year while gross margin changed −15.2 points. So the drop came mostly from the gross margin, which means input costs and prices charged. ## Is Taylor Devices' profit turning into cash? Over the last 3 years, 103% of Taylor Devices, Inc.'s reported profit came in as cash from its operations, so the profit is backed by cash. In FY26 it brought in $7.0 M of operating cash against $8.6 M of profit. After $2.1 M of spending on assets, $4.9 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. Why: the cash figure is clear, but the day counts behind it are not in our data, so we show it without guessing the reason. 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 Taylor Devices' cash go? Taylor Devices, 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 $5.9 M on assets over the last 3 years. Averaged over those years that is 4.7% of FY26 revenue a year. Nothing is estimated in place of the missing day counts, so no cash-cycle chart is drawn. Spending on assets: $5.9 M over the last 3 years. In short: the cash is going into new capacity, not getting stuck in the daily cycle. The question is whether the new capacity earns. ## What is Taylor Devices' P/E ratio, and how does it compare with its own history? Taylor Devices, Inc.'s P/E is 28.4×, near the high end of its own history: higher than 91% of past readings. Its usual P/E (the middle reading) is 20.3×, over 1 year of weekly prices. This compares the share price with the company’s own past. It does not say what the business is worth. Why the multiple is where it is: over the past year earnings per share moved −8.7% while the price moved +26.9%. The price did better than earnings, which pushed the multiple up within its own range. In short: the multiple is high against its own past, so the earnings trend underneath matters more than the multiple. ## Is the Taylor Devices business getting better or worse? Taylor Devices, Inc.'s business is getting worse. Revenue, profit and EPS growth are shrinking: revenue growth is −12.5% in the latest quarter, against +15.5% at its best in 12 quarters, with ROCE falling at 7.5%. This is based on 12 quarters of 4 measures. Why it matters: falling lines mean any ratio below that looks low should be read with that direction in mind. ## How much does Taylor Devices earn on its capital? Taylor Devices, Inc. earned a ROE of 12% in FY26. That is up from a low of 3% in FY21. Its return on capital used (ROIC) is 9.0 percentage points above its cost of capital, so growth here adds value, not just size. It comes from a 20.6% net margin and 0.54× asset turnover (sales divided by assets). Why the return is what it is (FY26): a 20.6% net margin × 0.54× asset turnover × 1.07× leverage (assets divided by equity) ≈ 11.9% on equity. The margin does most of the work; borrowing plays a small part, so this return is earned, not borrowed. The key test, return on capital used minus the cost of capital: 18.5% − 9.5% = +9.0 percentage points. The 9.5% is an estimate of this company's own cost of capital. Read the sign and size of the gap, not the decimals. A gap this wide means each dollar put back into the business creates more than a dollar of value. The 18.5% ROIC above is the latest reading, as reported. The yearly chart below shows FY26 at 24.4%, and the quarterly chart works out each 12-month window from the quarterly figures, so the readings differ by date, not by method. ## Does Taylor Devices have too much debt? A history of Taylor Devices, Inc.'s borrowings is not in our data. ## What is the Taylor Devices shareholding pattern? 4.5% of Taylor Devices, 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 2.9 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 Taylor Devices from balance-sheet trouble? For Taylor Devices, Inc., the Z-score is 17.26. A Z-score above about 3 is safe and below about 1.8 signals danger, so this is well clear of danger. It estimates how far the balance sheet is from trouble; it is not a forecast of failure. Why it matters: a Z-score of 17.26 is well clear of the danger zone, so the balance sheet is not the risk here. ## How does Taylor Devices rank in its industry?
