Upturn Advisory & Investor View for MYE

09/25/2026: MYE (4-star) is currently NOT-A-BUY. Pass it for now.

Myers Industries is a diversified manufacturer and distributor of polymer-based material handling and automotive products. The stock is best described as a mid-cap industrial player that leverages its strong position in tire supplies and reusable packaging to deliver steady cash flows. A key strength lies in its balanced business model and the current 'MyStrategy' initiative, which aims to drive operational efficiency. While providing a stable dividend, the company faces risks from cyclical industrial demand and exposure to raw material price volatility. It is a suitable fit for value and dividend-focused investors seeking exposure to the industrial supply chain, provided they monitor the successful execution of its long-term strategic plans.

Upturn Scorecard

Upturn Star Rating

★★★★★
MYE receives a 3-star rating, supported by solid company fundamentals. The rating is constrained by weak price momentum.

Company Fundamentals

★★★★★
MYE has solid overall fundamentals (4 stars), with moderate financial health, solid growth momentum, and solid ownership. In FY2025 versus FY2024, strong earnings growth (+385.0%) and solid cash generation (FCF margin 8.1%) are partially offset by slightly negative revenue growth (-1.3%), soft profitability (net margin 4.2%), modest insider ownership of 1.36%.

Financial Health Rating

★★★★★
MYE's financial health is supported by solid cash strength, including free-cash-flow generation (8.1% of revenue). Profitability is moderate (3 stars), which helps explain the 3-star overall score.

Growth Momentum Score

★★★★★
Earnings growth is MYE's strongest growth driver at +385.0% FY2025 versus FY2024 (strong, 5 stars). By comparison, free-cash-flow growth (+22.5%, solid) is also solid, while revenue growth (-1.3%, slightly negative) holds the profile back, so recent growth is not broad-based across the business.

Ownership

★★★★★
Institutional ownership is 100.0% and approximately 97.9% of outstanding shares are publicly tradable, supporting liquidity and institutional participation. Insider ownership of 1.36% provides only moderate management-shareholder alignment.

BlackRock Inc 7.29%
Advisory Research Inc 4.94%
Capital World Investors 4.77%
Dimensional Fund Advisors, Inc. 4.37%

Unit Economics (Per $1K Revenue)

★★★★★
MYE generates approximately $334 of gross profit, $91 of operating income, and $81 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: 22.61%

Quantitative Style Profile

★★★★★
MYE has a high-quality, liquid profile. Weak momentum is the primary drawback.
