Description: AME Ametek December 03, 2025
AMETEK (NYSE:AME) operates two primary segments: Electronic Instruments Group (EIG) and Electromechanical Group (EMG). EIG supplies advanced measurement and control hardware across aerospace, power, industrial, oil & gas, semiconductor, and food-and-beverage markets, including sensors, UPS systems, and precision test equipment. EMG focuses on engineered medical components, high-performance specialty metals, thermal-management hardware, and motion-control products, while also running an aviation MRO network.
Key recent metrics (FY 2023): revenue of roughly $6.5 billion, operating margin near 12 %, and a 4 % YoY increase in aerospace sensor sales-driven by rising defense spending and commercial aircraft fleet upgrades. The segment’s growth is also supported by robust demand for industrial automation, as global capex on robotics and control systems is projected to expand at a 9 % CAGR through 2028.
Given AMETEK’s diversified exposure to high-growth end-markets and its historically stable cash-flow profile, analysts often watch its free-cash-flow conversion (≈ 80 % of earnings) as a bellwether for dividend sustainability. For a deeper quantitative breakdown, see the ValueRay analysis of AME.
