Description: RBC RBC Bearings January 03, 2026
RBC Bearings Incorporated (NYSE:RBC) designs, manufactures, and markets precision bearings, components, and power-transmission systems for both aerospace/defense and industrial customers. Its product portfolio spans self-lubricating plain bearings, tapered and needle roller bearings, high-precision ball bearings, mounted bearing assemblies, enclosed gearmotors, couplings, hydraulic valves, fasteners, and machine-tool collets, serving a broad end-use base that includes commercial and military aircraft, construction, mining, energy, semiconductor equipment, and rail transportation.
In its most recent fiscal year (2023), RBC reported roughly $1.2 billion in revenue with an operating margin near 9 % and generated about $120 million of free cash flow, supporting a backlog of roughly $600 million that is weighted toward aerospace and defense contracts. The company’s performance is closely tied to two macro-drivers: (1) sustained defense spending growth, which underpins demand for high-reliability bearings in military aircraft and submarines; and (2) the post-pandemic rebound in commercial aviation and industrial automation, which fuels higher utilization of its low-friction, high-speed bearing solutions. A key risk is the cyclicality of the industrial segment, which can be amplified by commodity price swings and supply-chain bottlenecks in raw-material inputs such as specialty steels.
