Best-in-class aerospace/industrial bearings compounder firing on all cylinders, but a 70x P/E already prices in years of growth.
P/E (FY diluted EPS $9.09) 70.3 · FY2026
The read
Middling fundamentals and a rich price (~52% above fair value) leave little margin of safety — a wait-and-see.
RBC Bearings is a high-quality, niche precision-component manufacturer with genuine pricing power at the high end of the bearing market across Aerospace & Defense and Industrial end markets. The fundamentals are excellent: FY2026 revenue grew 14.3% to $1.87B, net income rose 16.8% to $288M, and diluted EPS climbed 18.1% to $9.09. Gross margin of 44.4% and operating margin of 22.5% reflect the value-added, engineered nature of the portfolio, and the multi-year track record (revenue nearly doubling from $943M in FY2022 to $1.87B) shows durable, acquisitive compounding — 30 acquisitions since 1992, including VACCO in July 2025.
The balance sheet is sound and improving. Long-term debt fell 23.6% to $702M, equity grew 10.9% to $3.36B, liabilities/equity is a conservative 0.52x, and operating cash flow surged 41.6% to $416M. The chief blemish is a current-portion-of-debt spike to $174M (a >100x jump) lifting current liabilities 73.2%, but with $1.19B of current assets this is manageable.
