The score is driven primarily by strong financial quality—solid profitability and an ultra-low-debt balance sheet—tempered by weak cash flow consistency and limited growth. Technical signals are mixed-to-soft with the stock below key longer-term moving averages, while valuation appears reasonably attractive at ~12.4x earnings.

How the Company Makes Money

Gencor Financial Statement Overview

Summary
Strong profitability recovery and healthy margins, plus an exceptionally conservative balance sheet with near-zero leverage. The main offsets are flat-to-slightly-down revenue and notably inconsistent cash generation, with a sharp drop in operating and free cash flow in 2025 versus prior years.
Income Statement
Profitability is solid and improved meaningfully versus the 2022 loss: net margin rebounded to ~13.6% in 2025 (annual) and gross margin remains healthy around ~27%. Operating profitability is also consistent, with EBIT margin holding near ~12% in 2024–2025. The main weakness is growth: revenue was essentially flat over the last few years and slightly down in 2025 (annual), which limits the upside despite strong margins.
Balance Sheet
The balance sheet is exceptionally conservative with very low debt (debt-to-equity near zero across the period), providing strong financial flexibility and low solvency risk. Equity has steadily grown (from ~$161M in 2020 to ~$212M in 2025), supporting asset growth as well. Returns on equity are respectable in the ~7–8% range recently, though not standout, and the 2022 dip highlights earnings cyclicality rather than leverage risk.
Cash Flow
Cash generation is the key weak spot due to volatility. Operating cash flow and free cash flow were strong in 2023–2024, but 2025 (annual) dropped sharply (operating cash flow ~$3.1M and free cash flow ~$1.1M), with cash conversion well below earnings (operating cash flow covers only ~35% of net income, and free cash flow is ~36% of net income). The business can generate meaningful cash in good years, but consistency is lacking, and 2022 also showed negative operating and free cash flow.
