What stands out

The business is unprofitable at the operating level (-0.62% margin). The thesis depends entirely on whether and when it reaches sustainable profitability.

What's changing

Revenue grew 9.5%, steady but not accelerating.

What deserves caution

At 42x earnings, the current multiple leaves limited room for execution misses or growth deceleration. Net debt of $7M represents 6.6x FCF, leverage limits flexibility.

Valuation context

41.9x earnings, 262.7x FCF. The market is pricing in years of above-average growth. If that thesis breaks, downside from multiple compression alone could be 30%+. This is a stock where you're paying for the future, not the present.

Is Optical Cable (OCC) overvalued?

At a P/E of 41.9 and a price-to-free-cash-flow of 262.7, Optical Cable (OCC) trades above a two-stage DCF intrinsic value of about $-0.06 per share, so at $13.13 the stock looks overvalued (100.5% above estimated intrinsic value). A high multiple is not the same as overvalued: fast-growing, high-quality businesses can deserve a premium. See the general approach in how to tell if a stock is overvalued.

On quality, Optical Cable scores 51/100 on Intrinsiqq's quality scorecard (a mixed business on these measures), weighing growth, margins, returns on capital, share count, and balance-sheet strength. All figures are computed from SEC filings; read the full methodology, or see how the market compares in our US profitability statistics. This is analysis, not investment advice.

Frequently asked

What is Optical Cable's fair value?+

Intrinsiqq's two-stage DCF estimates an intrinsic value of about $-0.06 per share for OCC, projecting its recent free cash flow forward with a growth rate that fades toward a long-run rate and discounting it back to today. Applying a 25% margin of safety gives a more conservative fair-value entry around $-0.04. At today's $13.13, that puts the stock about 100.5% above estimated intrinsic value. The result is sensitive to the growth and discount-rate inputs, so it is best to run conservative, base and optimistic cases. You can adjust all of them yourself with the sliders on the DCF tab.

Is Optical Cable a high-quality business?+

Optical Cable scores 51 out of 100 on Intrinsiqq's quality score, a weighted blend of 7 metrics each scored 0 to 100, which makes it a mixed business on these measures. Recent fundamentals include a 4.2% operating margin and a 11.4% return on invested capital. The score weighs revenue and free-cash-flow growth, operating margins, return on invested capital, share-count change, and balance-sheet strength, all computed from SEC filings, not opinion. Because valuation only means something relative to quality, the full metric-by-metric breakdown is on the quality scorecard.

Is Optical Cable a good stock to buy right now?+

That depends on valuation and quality together, not either alone. OCC currently trades above its estimated intrinsic value and scores 51/100 on quality (mixed). A cheap price is only a bargain if the business is durable, and a premium can be justified by genuine quality, so the two questions, "is it cheap?" and "is it good?", only make sense side by side. Read the valuation against the quality scorecard, run the DCF on your own assumptions, and decide for yourself. This is analysis from SEC filings, not investment advice.
