Analysis

Middle-of-the-road

Byrna Technologies Inc. is a middle-of-the-road business: neither the economics nor the price stand out from the peer group. One caution: reported profits have recently run ahead of actual cash, which we track closely.

The price is expensive. You pay 26.1× its owner earnings: the cash an owner could take out each year, which is in the historically expensive zone.

The trajectory is weak and the balance sheet is sturdy. The company scores 16/20 on our value-creation score: strong value creator. Analysts lean positive.

What to watch: Some accounting patterns deserve a closer look. Reported profits have run ahead of actual cash for several periods. As always: this describes the company's numbers; it is not a recommendation.
