At a glance
B+ balance sheet — decent shape, but not bulletproof
60/100 earnings predictability — reasonably predictable
39.4x trailing p/e — you're paying up for this one
1.9% dividend yield — cash in your pocket every quarter
5.5% return on capital — nothing to write home about
xvary composite: 64/100 — average
What they do
Park makes composite materials that go into planes, drones, rockets, and other aircraft parts.
Park has 132 employees and $0M of long-term debt. That keeps the operation small and the balance sheet clean. Your pain point is not leverage. It is the re-testing cost when buyers switch approved materials.

growth watch
Key numbers
39.4x
trailing p/e
P/E → price divided by profit → 39.4x means you pay 39.4 dollars for each dollar of earnings.
$0M
long-term debt
Long-term debt → money owed after one year → $0M means no lender is waiting ahead of you.
18.1%
operating margin
Operating margin → sales left after basic costs → 18.1% means Park keeps $0.18 per sales dollar before tax.
1.9%
dividend yield
Dividend yield → yearly cash payout divided by price → 1.9% is a small cash return while you wait.
Financial health
B+
strength
- balance sheet grade B+ — solid but not elite
- risk rank 2 — safer than 80% of stocks
- price stability 60 / 100
- long-term debt $0M (0% of capital)
B+ — functional but not a standout on the balance sheet.

What could go wrong
the #1 risk is customer concentration in a $62M revenue base.
high
customer concentration
management and research notes point to substantial customer concentration. in a $62M business, you do not need to lose many programs for the income statement to feel it.
with annual revenue of just $62M, even one lost or delayed customer program can move results fast.
med
supply chain and production execution
small manufacturers have less buffer when materials, labor, or production schedules slip. that is even more true when quarterly sales are $17.33M, not $17.33B.
a few disrupted deliveries can pressure both revenue timing and the 34.1% gross margin investors are watching.
med
valuation compression
the stock trades at 39.4x trailing earnings after a 35% six-month run. that multiple can fall even if the business itself does not break.
when valuation does most of the lifting, merely decent results can still hurt the stock.
on a $62M revenue base with $8.7M in trailing net income, contract slippage, margin pressure, or a lower multiple can all hit shareholder returns harder than the headline business size suggests.

Pay attention to
margin
gross margin needs to stay near 34%
Q3 2026 gross margin was 34.1%. that is the number carrying more weight than it should in a stock at 39.4x trailing earnings.
calendar
the next earnings print
you want to see whether sales hold above the recent $17.33M quarter and whether the 34.1% margin line stays intact.
mix
defense stays the stabilizer
defense and aerospace produced $44M of annual revenue versus $18M for commercial aerospace. if that balance shifts, the risk profile shifts with it.
valuation
39.4x trailing earnings leaves no slack
the dividend and the clean balance sheet help, but they do not erase the fact that you are paying up for a $62M business.
Analyst rankings
earnings predictability
60 / 100
in human-speak, the business is readable but still capable of surprising you.
risk rank
2
that scores safer than 80% of stocks, largely because long-term debt is $0M.
xvary composite
64 / 100
average. that is a fair read for a debt-free niche supplier with decent margins and a demanding multiple.
