Description: XPEL Xpel November 17, 2025
XPEL, Inc. (NASDAQ:XPEL) designs, manufactures and distributes protective films and coatings for automotive and architectural applications, complemented by its proprietary DAP software platform. Its product suite includes paint-protection films, windshield protection, pre-cut kits, ceramic coatings, and related installation tools, sold through a mix of independent installers, OEM partnerships, franchise locations and direct-to-consumer e-commerce channels.
Key quantitative signals (FY 2023): revenue of $1.13 billion, representing a 21 % YoY increase; gross margin expanding to 58 % driven by higher-margin OEM contracts; and a recurring-revenue run-rate of ≈ $250 million from software-enabled services. The company’s growth is underpinned by two macro trends: (1) the expanding automotive aftermarket, projected to reach $1.2 trillion globally by 2027, and (2) rising consumer adoption of premium paint-protection products as new-vehicle paint finishes become more delicate, especially on electric-vehicle models.
Geographically, XPEL derives roughly 45 % of sales from the United States, with the remainder split among China, Europe and other international markets, reflecting a diversification that mitigates single-region demand shocks. However, exposure to discretionary spending cycles and potential supply-chain constraints in key raw-material inputs (e.g., urethane-based films) remain material risks.
For analysts seeking a deeper, data-driven valuation framework, exploring XPEL’s metrics on ValueRay can surface comparable peer multiples and scenario-analysis tools that help quantify these drivers more rigorously.
