Description: BRC Brady January 11, 2026

Brady Corporation (NYSE:BRC) designs, manufactures, and distributes a broad portfolio of identification and workplace-safety solutions-including safety signs, lockout/tagout devices, RFID/barcode scanners, and handheld printers-serving industrial, healthcare, aerospace, and government customers across the Americas, Europe, Asia, and Australia.

The company reaches end-users through a hybrid go-to-market model that blends independent distributors, a direct sales force, and expanding digital channels, allowing it to capture both high-volume commodity sales and higher-margin custom solutions.

Key financial snapshots (FY 2023): revenue ≈ $1.73 billion, operating margin ≈ 12.5 %, free-cash-flow conversion ≈ 85 %, and a dividend yield of roughly 2.4 %. The balance sheet is solid, with a debt-to-equity ratio of 0.45 and a return on invested capital (ROIC) near 13 %.

Primary growth catalysts include tightening occupational-health-and-safety regulations (e.g., OSHA and EU directives), accelerating adoption of RFID and barcode technologies in supply-chain digitization, and rising capital-expenditure cycles in infrastructure, renewable-energy, and automotive sectors-all of which boost demand for labeling, asset-tracking, and compliance-software services.

Investors seeking a deeper, data-driven assessment of Brady’s valuation and risk profile may find the analytics on ValueRay worth a quick look.
