Iec Electronics's Profitability & Cost Structure
Trailing 12-month margins from SEC-filed financials. Operating margin is compared to the Semiconductors industry median; gross margin, EBITDA margin and capital intensity are compared to the live industry average (151 companies).| Metric | Company | Industry | Difference |
|---|---|---|---|
| Gross Margin | 11.14 % | 34.40 % (avg) | -23.3 pp |
| Operating Margin | 3.64 % | industry median | -1.7 pp |
| EBITDA Margin | 6.27 % | 7.07 % (avg) | -0.8 pp |
| Capital Intensity (Capex / Revenue) | 7.84 % | 9.39 % (avg) | -1.6 pp |
Source: CSIMarket API, trailing 12 months. SG&A and R&D as a share of revenue have limited coverage as this data is backfilled and appear only where reported. Higher capital intensity is not inherently negative; it reflects the industry's asset requirements.
Iec Electronics's Valuation vs Competitive Position
Valuation multiples vs the Semiconductors industry average (151 companies, excluding loss-making/negative-equity outliers), alongside returns on capital for context on whether a premium or discount lines up with measurably stronger or weaker returns.| Metric | Company | Industry Average | Difference |

| P/E | 28.5x | 43.3x | -14.8x |
| EV / EBITDA | 13.5x | 22.7x | -9.3x |
| P/B | 3.0x | 6.6x | -3.6x |

| Return on Invested Capital | 5.03 % | -0.16 % (avg) | 5.19 % |

Iec Electronics's Strategic Group Map
Every company in Iec Electronics's industry and named-competitor list, plotted by trailing 12-month revenue growth and operating margin. Iec Electronics is shown in red; its closest peers by combined growth, margin and ROIC (the Similar Growth & Profitability group above) are labeled.

Iec Electronics's Competitive Forces (Porter's Five Forces)
Only the forces this data can support honestly are shown; the other three are marked as such rather than guessed.| Force | Assessment | Basis |
|---|---|---|
| Barriers to Entry | Lower than typical for the industry | Capital intensity (capex / revenue) of 7.84 % vs industry average 9.39 % (see Profitability & Cost Structure above) |
| Supplier Power | Not covered on this page | See Iec Electronics's dedicated suppliers page for concentration and dependency data |
| Buyer Power | Not covered on this page | See Iec Electronics's dedicated customers page for concentration and dependency data |
| Threat of Substitutes | - | No systematic data source for cross-product substitution exists in this system; not estimated |
Note: this is a partial, data-grounded application of the framework, not a complete strategic assessment. Rivalry and barriers-to-entry readings are mechanical translations of the HHI and capital-intensity figures shown elsewhere on this page, not independent judgments.
Iec Electronics's Industry Attractiveness & Competitive Strength
A CSIMarket composite, not a standard field: each axis is an equal-weighted average of three factors already shown elsewhere on this page (industry growth, industry profitability and rivalry for attractiveness; relative market share, profitability and growth vs industry for strength). Disclosed as a designed methodology, not a precision measurement.
Iec Electronics falls in the Low attractiveness / Low strength cell: Harvest / Divest.
Source: CSIMarket API, trailing 12 months. Each axis score is a simple 1(low)/2(medium)/3(high) average across its three inputs -- a transparent, disclosed simplification, not a validated academic scoring model.
Iec Electronics's SWOT
Every point below is a fixed rule applied to a metric already shown elsewhere on this page (Market Structure, Profitability, Valuation, Run-Rate, Stock Performance, Quality Breadth) not an independent strategic assessment. A blank quadrant means no rule was met, not that none apply.Strengths
- Latest-quarter revenue run-rate is accelerating (+4.7% annualized vs trailing 12 months).
Weaknesses
- Return on equity 12.4 points below the industry aggregate.
- Piotroski F-Score of 2 or below, the standard financial-distress signal.
Opportunities
- Industry revenue growing at a healthy 10.3% median pace.
- Trades at a lower P/E than the industry average (28.5x vs 43.3x) despite a higher return on invested capital -- a possible re-rating opportunity.
Threats
- Tracked peer group's revenue run-rate is broadly decelerating (-21.4% annualized).
Methodology: mechanical, rule-based SWOT. Each bullet reuses a figure already sourced and cited elsewhere on this page; nothing here is generated narrative or independent analyst judgment.
