Company Overview

Founded by 26-year-old Elliot Bernstein during the electronics boom after WW2, Bel Fuse (NASDAQ:BELF.A) provides electronic systems and devices to the telecommunications, networking, transportation, and industrial sectors.

Revenue Growth

A company’s long-term sales performance is one signal of its overall quality. Any business can have short-term success, but a top-tier one grows for years. Thankfully, Bel Fuse’s 8.7% annualized revenue growth over the last five years was decent. Its growth was slightly above the average industrials company and shows its offerings resonate with customers.

Long-term growth is the most important, but within industrials, a half-decade historical view may miss new industry trends or demand cycles. Bel Fuse’s annualized revenue growth of 15.3% over the last two years is above its five-year trend, suggesting its demand recently accelerated.

This quarter, Bel Fuse reported robust year-on-year revenue growth of 25.2%, and its $210.7 million of revenue topped Wall Street estimates by 1.6%. Company management is currently guiding for a 20.1% year-on-year increase in sales next quarter.

Looking further ahead, sell-side analysts expect revenue to grow 9.6% over the next 12 months, a deceleration versus the last two years. Despite the slowdown, this projection is commendable and suggests the market is forecasting success for its products and services.

Operating Margin

Bel Fuse has been an efficient company over the last five years. It was one of the more profitable businesses in the industrials sector, boasting an average operating margin of 12.9%. This result isn’t too surprising as its gross margin gives it a favorable starting point.

Analyzing the trend in its profitability, Bel Fuse’s operating margin rose by 8.4 percentage points over the last five years, as its sales growth gave it immense operating leverage.

This quarter, Bel Fuse generated an operating margin profit margin of 18.2%, in line with the same quarter last year. This indicates the company’s cost structure has recently been stable.

Earnings Per Share

Revenue trends explain a company’s historical growth, but the long-term change in earnings per share (EPS) points to the profitability of that growth — for example, a company could inflate its sales through excessive spending on advertising and promotions.

Bel Fuse’s EPS grew at 46.9% compounded annual growth rate over the last five years, higher than its 8.7% annualized revenue growth. This tells us the company became more profitable on a per-share basis as it expanded.

We can take a deeper look into Bel Fuse’s earnings to better understand the drivers of its performance. As we mentioned earlier, Bel Fuse’s operating margin was flat this quarter but expanded by 8.4 percentage points over the last five years. This was the most relevant factor (aside from the revenue impact) behind its higher earnings; interest expenses and taxes can also affect EPS but don’t tell us as much about a company’s fundamentals.

Like with revenue, we analyze EPS over a more recent period because it can provide insight into an emerging theme or development for the business.

For Bel Fuse, its two-year annual EPS growth of 27.1% was lower than its five-year trend. We still think its growth was good and hope it can accelerate in the future.

In Q2, Bel Fuse reported adjusted EPS of $2.76, up from $1.58 in the same quarter last year. This print easily cleared analysts’ estimates, and shareholders should be content with the results. Over the next 12 months, Wall Street expects Bel Fuse’s full-year EPS to grow 6.2% from $8.01 to $8.51.

Key Takeaways from Bel Fuse’s Q2 Results

It was good to see Bel Fuse beat analysts’ EPS expectations this quarter. We were also glad its revenue guidance for next quarter exceeded Wall Street’s estimates. Zooming out, we think this was a good print with some key areas of upside. The stock remained flat at $203.15 immediately following the results.

Bel Fuse put up rock-solid earnings, but one quarter doesn’t necessarily make the stock a buy. Let’s see if this is a good investment. When making that decision, it’s important to consider its valuation, business qualities, as well as what has happened in the latest quarter.
