Research data through Oct 30, 2026. Research is updated periodically, not in real time.

Quality

38

of 100 · stored research reading

Stored Quality research reads 38 of 100, in the weaker band of the covered universe. This is a research reading about business durability, not a view on the share price.

Quality research measures durability of the business itself from stored fundamentals: balance-sheet strength, profitability consistency and cash generation. It is a research reading, not a prediction of future returns.

How this is measured

Fundamental Momentum

—

Not currently available

Not currently available. Pro Investor Academy holds no current Fundamental Momentum measurement for this company.

Fundamental Momentum research measures the direction of recently reported company fundamentals compared with the company's own history. It describes reported change, not future price movement.

How this is measured

Capital Returns

Weak

42

of 100 · stored research reading

Stored Capital Returns research reads 42 of 100, recorded as weak. A dividend is recorded, but no consecutive-year record is stored. Share count has increased at about 0.8% a year in the stored window.

Capital Returns research measures how a company has actually returned cash to shareholders: dividend record, buyback effectiveness, dilution control and how those payments were funded.

In the company’s own words

What this company does

Core Molding Technologies, Inc. (the "Company") and its subsidiaries operate in the engineered materials market as one operating segment as a molder of thermoplastic and thermoset structural products. The Company produces and sells molded products for varied markets, including medium and heavy-duty trucks, power sports, building products and other industrial markets. Core Molding Technologies has its headquarters in Columbus, Ohio, and operates six production facilities in the United States, Canada and Mexico.

In general, the Company achieves product growth and diversification in several different ways, including: (1) resourcing of existing structural products from another supplier by an original equipment manufacturer ("OEM"); (2) obtaining new structural products through a selection process in which an OEM solicits bids; (3) successful marketing of structural products for previously non-structural applications; (4) successful marketing of structural products to OEMs outside of our traditional markets; (5) developing of new materials, technology and processes to meet current or prospective customer requirements; (6) converting alternative materials to engineered materials; (7) expanding its business through the direct sale of engineered materials, including Sheet Molding Compound ("SMC"); and (8) acquiring an existing business. The Company's efforts continue to be directed towards all seven of those identified areas.

Structural plastics compete largely against metals and have the strength to function well during prolonged use. Management believes that structural plastic components offer many advantages over metals, including:

Our manufacturing facilities utilize various production processes; however, end products are similar and are not unique to a facility or customer base.
