Littelfuse Inc. is a leading manufacturer of electronic components, modules, and subassemblies, serving a diverse range of markets including industrial, automotive, and transportation. The companys product portfolio includes fuses, switches, relays, and protection devices, which are used to protect and control electrical systems in various applications.
From a business perspective, Littelfuse operates through three main segments: Electronics, Transportation, and Industrial.

Key performance indicators (KPIs) that can be used to evaluate Littelfuses performance include revenue growth, gross margin, and operating cash flow. The companys ability to maintain a strong gross margin is crucial, given the competitive nature of the electronic components industry. Additionally, Littelfuses return on equity (RoE) of 3.84% is relatively low, indicating potential areas for improvement in terms of profitability. The companys dividend yield and payout ratio are also important metrics to consider, as they can impact investor returns.
To further analyze Littelfuses stock, we can examine its valuation multiples. The price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of 62.25 is relatively high, suggesting that the stock may be overvalued. However, the forward P/E ratio of 25.91 is more reasonable, indicating that the companys earnings are expected to grow in the future. Other relevant metrics include the price-to-book (P/B) ratio and enterprise value-to-EBITDA (EV/EBITDA) ratio, which can provide additional insights into the companys valuation.
