Per the Roarable RQD rating, NTIC scores 45 out of 100, grade D, with the verdict "Roarable Sell — Underperform / Distribution Warning." The five pillars are:
For a prospective investor evaluating the stock today, the implications are as follows. Upside drivers, as framed by the rating, are limited: the cash engine and whale-flow pillars are weak. Valuation tradeoffs are visible in the market data: EV/EBITDA is 16.7 against a 3.1% operating margin and 0% net margin, meaning the enterprise value is high relative to current profitability. The balance-sheet pillar offers some stability, but it does not offset the weak return and flow signals. This is an analytical reading of the rating, not personalized financial advice.
| Period | Revenue | Operating Income | Net Income | EPS | FCF | Cash | Debt |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| FY 2025 (filed 2025-08-31) | $84.2M | $2.6M | $0.0M | N/A | $0.9M | $6.4M | N/A |
| FY 2024 (filed 2024-08-31) | $85.1M | $7.9M | $5.4M | N/A | $4.0M | $5.6M | N/A |
| FY 2023 (filed 2023-08-31) | $79.9M | $6.0M | $2.9M | N/A | $5.5M | N/A | N/A |
Per the SEC financials, revenue was $84.2M in FY 2025 versus $85.1M in FY 2024, and operating income fell from $7.9M to $2.6M over the same span. Net income fell to $0.0M in FY 2025 from $5.4M. Per the market data, gross margin is 37.6%, operating margin is 3.1%, net margin is 0%, and ROIC is 3.1%. Per the Roarable RQD rating, the Altman Z-Score is 2.5 and the Piotroski F-Score is 6/9, with Debt/Equity of 0.5. Balance-sheet posture is moderate per these metrics, but the trend shows profitability compression.
Per the Butterfly Supply-Chain Graph, the supply chain is recorded as NONE, with no butterfly links and no proprietary signals. Not available in source data for upstream dependencies, downstream customers, or sector correlation coefficients. Investors should watch whether the oil-and-gas and compostable-plastics growth narrative in the news wire translates into reported revenue, since the source data does not quantify those end markets.

Welcome to the NTIC (Northern Technologies International Corporation) Roar Pit. Current RQD Composite is 45/100 (Roarable Sell — Underperform / Distribution Warning) in Industrial Specialties. Bulls point to operating leverage and sector positioning, while bears focus on macro rate sensitivity and margin execution. Pick your side (🐂 Bull or 🐻 Bear) and drop your price target below.
Everyone in here is repeating the bull case on NTIC, but look at what you are paying: current EV/EBITDA multiples with 37.6% gross margins. Unless Northern Technologies International Corporation expands free cash flow yield next quarter, I would rather wait for a pullback closer to the 200-day moving average before touching this.
Looking at the 5-pillar RQD breakdown on NTIC, the market is fixating on short-term headline noise in Industrial Specialties and ignoring the balance sheet and cash flow trajectory. At $7.49 (52-wk range $7.35 - $10.03), any beat on forward guidance forces shorts and underweight funds to chase.
