What They Do
SIF makes forged metal parts for aircraft, turbines, helicopters, landing gear, wheels, and brakes.
This is a niche parts shop for things that cannot fail midair. If your aircraft engine or landing gear needs a forged part, you do not shop by vibes. SIF has been doing this since 1913, and that history matters when the part is flight-critical.

$24.0M last quarter
this is the part of the story the stock heard. last quarter sales rose 14.8% to $24.0M and the company posted $1.8M of net income. reality is the punchline: that was enough to change the mood around an $81M company.

Machined Assemblies
tied to $66M aerospace base
machining adds value after the forging step, but it rides on the same aerospace demand that already makes up 78% of company revenue. different process, same bet.

$19M annual revenue
this segment is 22% of revenue and declined 12% last year. the catch: it is too small to rescue results if aerospace loses momentum.

latest EPS
Jargon → EPS → profit per share → so what: SIF just showed a profitable quarter after years of annual losses.
21.6%
gross margin
Jargon → gross margin → what is left after making the product → so what: this factory business does not have a giant pricing cushion.
$12M
long-term debt
Debt is 13% of capital, which is manageable in a clean year and annoying in a weak one.
Financial Health
C+
Strength
- balance sheet grade C+ — weak — may struggle to fund operations
- risk rank 5 — safer than 5% of stocks
- price stability 5 / 100
- long-term debt $12M (13% of capital)
C+ — below average. watch for debt servicing and cash burn.

What Could Go Wrong
The core risk is simple: this page is built on one quarter of proof in a business with only $85M of annual revenue and 78% exposure to aerospace & defense.

One-quarter wonder
q1 net income was $1.8M on $24.0M of sales. that's progress, not safety. if gross margin slips, all of that profit can vanish in a hurry.

Aerospace concentration
78% of revenue comes from aerospace & defense. if build rates, engine programs, or defense demand cool off, most of the company feels it at once.

Energy is not a real offset
energy is 22% of revenue and fell 12% last year. narrative contrast: one segment improved enough to excite the stock, the other shrank enough to remind you this business is not broadly humming.

Balance sheet cushion is thin
a C+ balance sheet and $12M of long-term debt are manageable today. they look less friendly if the company drops back into losses while the stock is priced for more improvement.

with only $1.8M of quarterly net income supporting an $81M market cap, this story needs repeatability more than it needs another exciting headline.

Pay Attention To
Earnings date
Q2 fy2026 results
report due may 13, 2026. a second straight profitable quarter would make the turnaround case more than a one-quarter argument.
Margin check
Gross margin staying above 20%
gross margin was 21.6% in q1. if it falls back below 20%, the recent profit likely goes with it.
Segment trend
Aerospace growth carrying the load
aerospace & defense grew 15% while energy fell 12%. you want to see the strong segment keep pulling, not merely stop falling.
Risk signal
Full-year estimate still negative
fy2025 EPS is still estimated at -$0.15. if that estimate stops improving, the stock's 109% sprint starts looking ahead of the operating reality.
Analyst Rankings
earnings predictability
15 / 100
earnings are hard to model here. in human-speak, analysts do not trust a straight line from one good quarter to a stable future.
balance sheet grade
C+
balance sheet grade: C+. you're not looking at distress today, but you are looking at limited room for operational backsliding.
