J.W. Mays, Inc. (MAYS) SWOT Analysis Analysis (2026)
No material changes this month.
Overall Score
Strengths
Current ratio of 3.0 and cash ratio of 1.33 indicate solid near-term liquidity.
Book value per share of 25.65 and price-to-book of 1.64 suggest the stock is not highly levered to asset value.
Cash conversion cycle of 13.1 days reflects efficient working-capital management.
Weaknesses
TTM net margin of -5.4% and operating margin of -7.7% show the business is still unprofitable.
Free cash flow is negative, with free cash flow per share of -0.80 and free cash flow yield of -1.9%.
Leverage remains elevated, with net debt to EBITDA of 35.7 and interest coverage deeply negative on a TTM basis.
Opportunities
Price-to-sales of 4.0 leaves room for upside if margins improve and profitability normalizes.
Revenue per share of 10.63 versus book value per share of 25.65 suggests valuation could benefit if asset productivity improves.
A positive cash conversion cycle and strong current ratio provide flexibility to support operational turnaround efforts.
Threats
Negative EBIT and pretax margins indicate continued earnings pressure and execution risk.
High debt burden and weak coverage ratios increase sensitivity to higher rates or softer operating performance.
Capex exceeds operating cash flow, which could keep free cash flow under pressure if revenue growth stalls.
