Action:Reiterated
Date:05/09/26
The score is driven primarily by improving fundamentals and execution: strong free cash flow and better leverage, reinforced by a guidance raise and strong Q1 momentum. Technicals also support the outlook with a sustained uptrend. These positives are partially offset by a rich valuation (high P/E with a low dividend yield) and still-modest underlying profitability/returns.
Positive Factors
Free cash flow & improving leverage
Sustained FCF (~$173M TTM) and rising operating cash flow provide durable funding for capex, share buybacks, dividends and debt paydown. Improved leverage (debt/equity ~0.39) increases financial flexibility across cycles and supports reinvestment in growth initiatives without relying on external financing.
Negative Factors
Low net margin & weak ROE
Despite decent gross margins and EBITDA, low net margins and weak ROE indicate earnings conversion issues and modest returns on equity. Over the medium term this constrains shareholder returns and makes the company more sensitive to cost inflation or margin pressure from investments and cyclical downturns.

Company Guidance
Enpro raised its 2026 guidance, now expecting total sales to increase 10%–14% (previously 8%–12%), adjusted EBITDA of $315M–$330M (vs. $305M–$320M) and adjusted diluted EPS of $8.85–$9.50 (vs. $8.50–$9.20), using a 25% normalized tax rate and ~21.3M fully diluted shares. The upgrade is driven by strong Q1 results—sales of $303M (+~11% YoY), adjusted EBITDA $76.4M (+~13%) and a company adjusted EBITDA margin of 25.2% (+40 bps)—and by AST momentum, where Q1 sales rose >11%, segment EBITDA grew ~18.5% with a 23.3% margin (+140 bps) (inventory build contributed ~150 bps) and management now expects mid‑teens AST revenue growth and a run‑rate margin near 25% by year‑end. Sealing Technologies posted $199M in sales (+10.8%), a 32.5% segment margin (above 30% for nine quarters) with mid‑single‑digit organic revenue target ex‑acquisitions, and total company targets remain mid‑ to high‑single‑digit organic top‑line growth long‑term with segments capable of ~30% adjusted segment EBITDA ±250 bps through 2030. Balance‑sheet and cash metrics include Q1 free cash flow of $26.5M (more than doubled YoY), Q1 capex $13.1M (capex budget ~$50M for 2026), repayment of $50M revolver, net leverage ~1.9x, a $0.32 quarterly dividend ($6.9M) and a $50M share repurchase authorization.Enpro Financial Statement Overview
