Upturn Advisory & Investor View for LCII

09/25/2026: LCII (1-star) is currently NOT-A-BUY. Pass it for now.

LCI Industries is a leading manufacturer of components for the RV and marine industries, known for its extensive product catalog and strong OEM relationships. The company's business model benefits from a robust aftermarket segment that provides more consistent revenue than its cyclical OEM manufacturing business. Its primary growth opportunity lies in diversifying into residential housing and adjacent transportation markets to reduce cyclicality. Key risks include exposure to volatile interest rates and raw material price fluctuations, which can impact profitability. The stock may suit investors looking for value in cyclical industries who also appreciate a consistent dividend, though it requires monitoring of macro RV shipment data.

Upturn Scorecard

Upturn Star Rating

★★★★★
LCII receives a 3-star rating, supported by solid company fundamentals. The rating is constrained by soft unit economics, and weak price momentum.

Company Fundamentals

★★★★★
LCII has solid overall fundamentals (4 stars), with moderate financial health, moderate growth momentum, and solid ownership. In FY2025 versus FY2024, solid earnings growth (+31.8%) and solid cash generation (FCF margin 6.8%) are partially offset by soft profitability (net margin 4.6%), modest insider ownership of 3.52%.

Financial Health Rating

★★★★★
LCII's financial health is supported by solid cash strength, including free-cash-flow generation (6.8% of revenue). Profitability is soft (2 stars), which helps explain the 3-star overall score.

Growth Momentum Score

★★★★★
Earnings growth is LCII's strongest growth driver at +31.8% FY2025 versus FY2024 (solid, 4 stars). By comparison, revenue growth (+10.2%, solid) is also solid, while free-cash-flow growth (-15.1%, negative) holds the profile back, so recent growth is not broad-based across the business.

Ownership

★★★★★
Institutional ownership is 111.5% and approximately 96.4% of outstanding shares are publicly tradable, supporting liquidity and institutional participation. Insider ownership of 3.52% provides only moderate management-shareholder alignment.

Top 5 Institutional Investors

BlackRock Inc 14.58%
FMR Inc 8.37%
Kayne Anderson Rudnick Investment Management LLC 7.89%
Dimensional Fund Advisors, Inc. 6.17%
Vanguard Portfolio Management, LLC 6.08%

Unit Economics (Per $1K Revenue)

★★★★★
LCII generates approximately $238 of gross profit, $68 of operating income, and $68 of free cash flow for every $1,000 of revenue. Based on FY2025 results. Strong cash conversion and healthy margins support the rating, although capital efficiency remains below the highest tier.

Economic Dimensions

★★★★★
Effective Tax Rate: 26.20%

Quantitative Style Profile

★★★★★
LCII has a liquid profile. Weak momentum is the primary drawback.
