Based on FY2025 annual data. Scores normalized against common benchmarks. How we calculate these scores
Alpha Teknova has an operating margin of -41.9%, meaning the company retains $-42 of operating profit per $100 of revenue. This below-average margin results in a low score of 0/100, suggesting thin profitability after operating expenses. This is up from -69.3% the prior year.
Alpha Teknova's revenue grew 7.4% year-over-year to $40.5M, a solid pace of expansion. This earns a growth score of 46/100.
Alpha Teknova carries a low D/E ratio of 0.19, meaning only $0.19 of long-term debt for every $1 of shareholders' equity. This conservative leverage earns a score of 98/100, indicating a strong balance sheet with room for future borrowing.
With a current ratio of 4.58, Alpha Teknova holds $4.58 in current assets for every $1 of short-term obligations. This comfortable liquidity earns a score of 91/100.
While Alpha Teknova generated -$8.6M in operating cash flow, capex of $1.1M consumed most of it, leaving -$9.8M in free cash flow. This results in a low score of 0/100, reflecting heavy capital investment rather than weak cash generation.
Alpha Teknova generates a -25.1% ROE, indicating limited profit relative to shareholders' investment. This results in a returns score of 0/100. This is up from -32.5% the prior year.
Alpha Teknova passes 5 of 9 financial strength tests. 2 of 4 profitability signals pass, 1 of 3 leverage/liquidity signals pass, both operating efficiency signals pass.
For every $1 of reported earnings, Alpha Teknova generates $0.50 in operating cash flow (-$8.6M OCF vs -$17.3M net income). This low ratio suggests earnings are primarily driven by accounting accruals rather than cash generation, which may not be sustainable.
Alpha Teknova earns $-23.9 in operating income for every $1 of interest expense (-$17.0M vs $710K). This narrow margin raises concern about the company's ability to service its debt if operating income declines.
