GuruFocus Profitability Rank ranks how profitable a company is and how likely the companyย’s business will stay that way. It is based on these factors:

1. Operating Margin
2. Trend of the Operating Margin (5-year average). The company with an uptrend profit margin has a higher rank.
ย•ย•3. Consistency of the profitability
4. Piotroski F-Score
5. Predictability Rankย•

The maximum rank is 10. A rank of 7 or higher means a higher profitability and may stay that way. A rank of 3 or lower indicates that the company has had trouble to make a profit.

Profitability Rank is not directly related to the Financial Strength Rank. But if a company is consistently profitable, its financial strength will be stronger.

Business Description

Pulse Electronics Corp was incorporated in Pennsylvania on April 10, 1947. It is a producer of precision-engineered electronic components and modules. It operates its business in three segments: its Network product group ("Network"), its Power product group ("Power") and its Wireless product group ("Wireless"). Network produces a variety of passive components that manage and regulate electronic signals for use in a variety of devices used in local area and wide area networks. These products operate by filtering out radio frequency interference, shaping waveforms, splitting signals, suppressing noise, matching impedances and other functions. These passive products are often referred to as connectors, filters, filtered connectors, transformers, splitters, micro-filters, baluns and chokes. Network's components are characterized by labor intensive manufacturing processes that can be highly customized. Power mainly manufactures products that adjust and ensure proper current and voltage, limit distortion of voltage, sense and report current and voltage and cause mechanical movement or actuation. Power's products include power transformers, chokes, current and voltage sensors, ignition coils, automotive coils, military and aerospace products and other power magnetic products. Its Power products also tend to have relatively short life cycles. Wireless manufactures products that primarily capture or transmit wireless communication signals. Specifically, its Wireless segment produces antennas, antenna modules and antenna mounting components that capture and transmit communication signals in handsets, other terminal and portable devices, automobiles and wireless-to-wireline access points. Its Wireless products are sold in a very dynamic market, which causes the life of an average Wireless product to be short. Each of its segments sells products predominantly through worldwide direct sales forces. It sells its products and services to original equipment manufacturers, original design manufacturers and contract equipment manufacturers, which design, build and market end-user products. It refers to these companies as OEMs, ODMs and CEMs, respectively. The Company's manufacturing operations are subject to a variety of local, state, federal and international environmental laws and regulations governing air emissions, wastewater discharges, the storage, use, handling, disposal and remediation of hazardous substances and wastes and employee health and safety.
