The latest update is out from Compx International ( (CIX) ).

On March 4, 2026, CompX reported fourth quarter 2025 net sales of $37.7 million, slightly down from $38.4 million a year earlier, as weaker Security Products demand in the healthcare market offset stronger Marine Components sales into industrial channels. Despite the modest revenue dip, operating income rose to $5.6 million and net income edged up to $4.7 million, or $0.38 per share, aided by improved gross margins across both segments.

For full-year 2025, net sales climbed to $158.3 million from $145.9 million in 2024, with operating income up to $22.6 million and net income increasing to $19.5 million, or $1.58 per share. The gains were driven by higher Security Products sales to the government security market and stronger Marine Components demand in towboat, government and industrial markets, signaling continued margin strength and a favorable mix shift despite pockets of softness in healthcare-related security orders.

The most recent analyst rating on (CIX) stock is a Buy with a $29.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Compx International stock, see the CIX Stock Forecast page.

Spark’s Take on CIX Stock

According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, CIX is a Outperform.

The score is driven primarily by strong underlying financial quality (notably the debt-free balance sheet and solid profitability) and attractive valuation metrics (P/E ~14.7 and ~9.5% dividend yield). Technicals are more neutral, with modestly positive momentum but limited longer-term trend strength.
