Why The Stock Moved

Qualitative Assessment

AI Analysis | Feedback

The requested time period, from August 31, 2025, to December 26, 2025, is in the future. Therefore, no actual stock movement data or explanatory factors are available for that specific period. However, based on the instruction to use the most recent information available, here are some key points that have recently influenced Kimball Electronics (KE) stock up to the current date.

1. Analyst Ratings and Price Targets: Kimball Electronics has recently received "Strong Buy" and "Buy" ratings from Wall Street analysts, with an average price target indicating a potential upside from its current price. For example, as of December 2025, one analyst gave KE a "Strong Buy" rating with a 12-month price target of $28.00. Another consensus from four analysts set an average price target of $32.00, representing a forecasted upside of 10.42% from a price of $28.98. These positive sentiments from analysts can contribute to upward stock movement.

2. Strong Financial Performance in Key Sectors: The company demonstrated positive financial trajectory with a year-over-year gross margin increase of 40 basis points to 8.2%. Significant sales growth in its automotive and industrial sectors (13% and 21% respectively) and a 41% surge in automotive revenue in FY23, driven by electric vehicle technologies and new braking solutions, have been highlighted as potential contributors to future annual revenue. This growth in core business areas can positively influence investor confidence and stock performance.

This growth in core business areas can positively influence investor confidence and stock performance.

3. Quarterly Earnings Beats: Kimball Electronics has recently reported earnings that beat analyst forecasts. In Q2 FY2025, the company's non-GAAP profit of $0.34 per share was 83.8% above analysts' consensus estimates. Its revenue also outperformed Wall Street's estimates by a wide margin in Q2 CY2025, even though sales fell year-over-year. Positive earnings surprises often lead to an upward movement in stock price.

4. Strategic Development and Leadership Changes: Kimball Electronics has been focusing on strategic development, including the appointment of new leadership team members and participation in healthcare conferences. These strategic initiatives and efforts to expand into new markets, such as medical disposables and drug delivery services, aim to drive growth and can be viewed positively by investors.

5. Market Sentiment and Industry Trends: While the broader "Electrical Systems" industry has experienced a cyclical downturn, Kimball Electronics' stock has shown resilience. The company is described as successfully transitioning from automotive Electronics Manufacturing Services (EMS) to a high-margin medical Contract Manufacturing Organization (CMO) model, which is seen as a positive driver for improved fundamentals. Investing in Kimball Electronics five years ago would have yielded an 83% gain, indicating long-term positive performance. This positive market sentiment and strategic shift can contribute to stable or upward stock movements. Show less

AI Analysis | Feedback

The key risks to Kimball Electronics' (symbol: KE) business primarily revolve around a challenging operating environment, customer concentration, and substantial capital expenditures.

Weak End-Market Demand and Revised Revenue Projections: Kimball Electronics is facing a challenging operating environment with many contract manufacturing organizations, including Kimball, adjusting expectations for weak end-market demand. The company has experienced a more significant pullback in its verticals than initially anticipated, affecting fiscal year 2025. Revenue projections for FY25 have been revised downward, falling short of consensus estimates, and the company has seen annual sales declines over the past two years, indicating difficulties in connecting products and services with the market.
Customer Concentration: Kimball Electronics faces a risk associated with high customer concentration, particularly within its growing medical segment. Significant changes in major customer programs could quickly impact margins and cash flow.
Heavy Capital Spending: The company's heavy capital expenditure, including $50 million to $60 million allocated for a new medical facility in 2026, could pressure free cash flow and potentially delay expected margin benefits if top-line growth takes longer to materialize than anticipated. A slow ramp-up in medical segment revenues could further impact return on invested capital and blunt expected margin gains.

AI Analysis | Feedback

In November 2020, Kimball Electronics extended its stock repurchase plan, authorizing an additional purchase of up to $20 million, bringing the total authorized repurchases to $100 million without expiration.
During the second quarter of fiscal year 2025, the Board of Directors unanimously increased the share repurchase program by $20 million, and the company invested $3 million to repurchase 160,000 shares.
As of the first quarter of fiscal year 2026 (ended September 30, 2025), Kimball Electronics had $14.8 million remaining on its authorized repurchase program, having repurchased 49,000 shares for $1.5 million in that quarter.

Share Issuance

For the three months ended September 30, 2025, performance and restricted share issuance resulted in a net change in share owners' equity.

Outbound Investments

Kimball Electronics announced its intent to divest the Automation, Test, and Measurement (AT&M) business in May 2024, with the transaction finalizing on July 31, 2024.
The proceeds from the AT&M divestiture were utilized to strengthen the balance sheet by increasing liquidity and financial flexibility, enabling the company to focus on its core Electronics Manufacturing Services (EMS) capabilities.
The company is strategically focused on future growth through organic and inorganic channels, particularly eyeing potential acquisitions in the medical Contract Manufacturing Organization (CMO) space.

Capital Expenditures

Kimball Electronics estimates capital expenditures for fiscal year 2026 to be in the range of $50 million to $60 million.
In the first quarter of fiscal year 2026, capital expenditures totaled $10.6 million, with a substantial portion dedicated to leasehold improvements and a new facility in Indianapolis.
A new 308,000-square-foot facility in Indianapolis, anticipated to open in November 2025, is a key focus of capital expenditure, designed to support advanced medical capabilities such as cold chain management and drug delivery device assembly.
