Frequently asked questions
Is PLPC growing its revenue and profit?
Over the past 5 years, Preformed Line Products Co's revenue has grown 7.5% per year, and net income grown 3.4% per year. These are computed facts, not advice.
How much debt does PLPC have?
As of FY2025, Preformed Line Products Co reported $39M of total debt against $83M of cash; operating income covered interest expense 42×.
What is PLPC's profit margin?
In FY2025, gross margin was 31.2%, operating margin 8.2%, and net margin 5.3%.
What is PLPC's P/E ratio?
Preformed Line Products Co's P/E (TTM) is 26.01 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 PLPC stock page. The valuation chart above sets each month-end's price against the latest annual net income instead, so its latest point (about 43.1× 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.

against the latest annual filing. Informational only — not investment advice.
