Frequently asked questions

Is NX growing its revenue and profit?

Over the past 5 years, Quanex Building Products CORP's revenue has grown 16.6% per year. These are computed facts, not advice.

How much debt does NX have?

As of FY2025, Quanex Building Products CORP reported $704M of total debt against $76M of cash; operating income covered interest expense -3.5×.

What is NX's profit margin?

In FY2025, gross margin was 27.2%, operating margin -10.6%, and net margin -13.6%.

What is NX's P/E ratio?

Quanex Building Products CORP's P/E (TTM) is 21.28 as of the 2026-11-03 close — market cap ÷ net income over the trailing twelve months where four consecutive quarters are reported, otherwise the latest fiscal year, the same figure as on the NX stock page. The valuation chart above sets each month-end's price against the latest annual net income instead, so its latest point (about 19.7× as of Nov '26) can differ. These are computed facts, not advice.

Where does this data come from?

All figures are extracted from the company’s SEC EDGAR/XBRL filings — 10-K annual reports and 10-Q quarterly reports (use the Annual / Quarterly toggle). Quarterly figures are derived from the as-filed statements (year-to-date amounts are differenced into discrete quarters). Growth rates and ratios are computed by tradmap; nothing here is investment advice.
