AAON
AAON Nasdaq Building Products Financials FY2016βFY2025
AAON's revenue rose 20.1% to $1.4 billion in fiscal 2025. Its operating margin was 10.1%, down from 17.4% a year earlier. It paid out $63 million in dividends and buybacks. The diluted share count fell 0.6%.
About these figures. Debt is AAON's credit line, its only borrowing on the balance sheet. AAON's cash flow statement shows its capital spending under its own label from 2023, so capital spending and free cash flow are blank for those years. Share counts and per-share figures for earlier years are restated for a stock split (1.5-for-1), so every year is on today's share basis.
