Management Commentary
Cemtrex Chairman and CEO, Saagar Govil, commented on the results: 'We are extremely pleased with our strong second quarter performance, which reflects our team's sharp focus on execution and margin improvement. Both operating segments contributed to robust revenue growth, and we delivered a return to profitability on both an operating and net income basis. The improvement in gross margins, combined with disciplined expense management, enabled us to post over $8 million in net income this quarter. We believe this result marks an inflection point for Cemtrex.
'At Vicon, our Security segment, we benefited from the initial shipments of a record $10.4 million order and from the ramp-up of our new NEXT Modular Sensor System, which is now in full production. Our efforts to expand our presence in international markets are also beginning to show progress, with recent STQC certification in India positioning us for long-term growth in that region. Meanwhile, our Industrial Services segment, AIS, delivered solid 13% year-over-year growth and continues to execute well on large infrastructure and industrial projects.'
'We remain laser-focused on delivering shareholder value through improved profitability, strategic innovation, and operational discipline. With a strengthening balance sheet and a growing backlog, we believe we are positioned to sustain momentum through the second half of the fiscal year, and remain optimistic that fiscal 2025 financial performance will surpass fiscal 2024.'

That said, here is one profitable company that leverages its financial strength to beat the competition and two best left off your watchlist. Trailing 12-Month GAAP Operating Margin: 19.4% Founded by payroll software veteran Steve Sarowitz in 1997, Paylocity (NASDAQ:PCTY) is a provider of payroll and HR software for small and medium-sized enterprises. Why Are We Hesitant About PCTY? Estimated sales growth of 8.3% for the next 12 months implies demand will slow from its three-year trend Gross margin of 68.8% reflects its relatively high servicing costs At $176.78 per share, Paylocity trades at 6x forward price-to-sales. Dive into our free research report to see why there are better opportunities than PCTY. Trailing 12-Month GAAP Operating Margin: 10.2% Expanding its markets through acquisitions since its founding, Alamo (NSYE:ALG) designs, manufactures, and services vegetation management and infrastructure maintenance equipment for governmental, industrial, and agricultural use. Why Should You Sell ALG? Sales stagnated over the last two years and signal the need for new growth strategies Projected sales growth of 2.8% for the next 12 months suggests sluggish demand Flat earnings per share over the last two years lagged its peers Alamo's stock price of $214.51 implies a valuation ratio of 21x forward P/E. Check out our free in-depth research report to learn more about why ALG doesn't pass our bar. Trailing 12-Month GAAP Operating Margin: 11.2% Formed through the merger of 12 companies, Comfort Systems (NYSE:FIX) provides mechanical and electrical contracting services. Why Will FIX Beat the Market? Sales pipeline is in good shape as its backlog averaged 30.5% growth over the past two years Earnings per share grew by 67.6% annually over the last two years and trumped its peers Returns on capital are climbing as management makes more lucrative bets Comfort Systems is trading at $499.58 per share, or 26.7x forward P/E. Is now a good time to buy? See for yourself in our comprehensive research report, it's free. The market surged in 2024 and reached record highs after Donald Trump's presidential victory in November, but questions about new economic policies are adding much uncertainty for 2025.

1 Cash-Producing Stock with Impressive Fundamentals and 2 to Be Wary Of
Generating cash is essential for any business, but not all cash-rich companies are great investments. Some produce plenty of cash but fail to allocate it effectively, leading to missed opportunities. Luckily for you, we built StockStory to help you separate the good from the bad. Keeping that in mind, here is one cash-producing company that leverages its financial strength to beat its competitors and two best left off your watchlist. Trailing 12-Month Free Cash Flow Margin: 11.8% Originally the joint-venture of four cable television companies, AMC Networks (NASDAQ:AMCX) is a broadcaster producing a diverse range of television shows and movies. Why Should You Sell AMCX? Products and services have few die-hard fans as sales have declined by 4.6% annually over the last five years Sales were less profitable over the last five years as its earnings per share fell by 16.4% annually, worse than its revenue declines Waning returns on capital from an already weak starting point displays the inefficacy of management's past and current investment decisions AMC Networks is trading at $6 per share, or 2x forward P/E. Check out our free in-depth research report to learn more about why AMCX doesn't pass our bar. Trailing 12-Month Free Cash Flow Margin: 24.7% As a pioneer in 3D mammography technology that has revolutionized breast cancer detection, Hologic (NASDAQ:HOLX) develops and manufactures diagnostic products, medical imaging systems, and surgical devices focused primarily on women's health and wellness. Why Does HOLX Give Us Pause? Constant currency revenue growth has disappointed over the past two years and shows demand was soft Expenses have increased as a percentage of revenue over the last five years as its adjusted operating margin fell by 23.2 percentage points Shrinking returns on capital suggest that increasing competition is eating into the company's profitability At $65 per share, Hologic trades at 14.5x forward P/E. Dive into our free research report to see why there are better opportunities than HOLX. Trailing 12-Month Free Cash Flow Margin: 7.2% Spun out of Post Holdings in 2019, Bellring Brands (NYSE:BRBR) offers protein shakes, nutrition bars, and other products under the PowerBar, Premier Protein, and Dymatize brands. Why Will BRBR Beat the Market? Products are flying off the shelves as its unit sales averaged 20.8% growth over the past two years Earnings per share grew by 28% annually over the last three years and trumped its peers Stellar returns on capital showcase management's ability to surface highly profitable business ventures BellRing Brands's stock price of $58.78 implies a valuation ratio of 24.6x forward P/E. Is now the right time to buy? Find out in our full research report, it's free. Market indices reached historic highs following Donald Trump's presidential victory in November 2024, but the outlook for 2025 is clouded by new trade policies that could impact business confidence and growth.
