Monitor gross margin recovery in 2026 as higher-tariff inventory is depleted; assess sustainability of disposable apparel growth and potential rebound in roofing products. The stock buyback and strong cash position ($17M, no debt) provide support, but earnings decline remains a concern.
Price Chart
Executive Summary
Alpha Pro Tech reported full-year 2025 revenue growth of 2.3% to $59.1 million, driven by strong performance in disposable protective apparel, particularly garments which rose 12.2%. However, net income declined 9.9% year-over-year to $3.5 million due to margin pressure from tariffs and a significant drop in other income, resulting in lower EPS of $0.33 vs. $0.35 in 2024. Despite cost controls and segment diversification, gross margin contracted 150 basis points to 38.1%.
