Frequently asked
Is Pharma-Bio Serv a high-quality business?+
Pharma-Bio Serv scores 22 out of 100 on Intrinsiqq's quality score, a weighted blend of 7 metrics each scored 0 to 100, which makes it a lower-quality business on these measures. Recent fundamentals include a -1.6% operating margin and a -1.1% 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.
Does Pharma-Bio Serv (PBSV) pay a dividend, and how much?+
Yes, Pharma-Bio Serv pays a regular dividend of about $0.08 per share per year (typically in quarterly installments), a yield of roughly 16.7% at the current price. That is a payout ratio of about 683.8% of earnings, so the dividend is stretched at this level. A low headline yield is not the same as a weak dividend: what matters is how well earnings and free cash flow cover the payout and whether it is growing, not the percentage alone. For PBSV's full payout history, growth streak and dividend-safety score, see the dividends tab.
Is Pharma-Bio Serv a good stock to buy right now?+
That depends on valuation and quality together, not either alone. you should weigh PBSV's valuation and scores 22/100 on quality (lower-quality). It also yields about 16.7%. 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.
