AI verdictAI analysisGenerated by AI from underlying data

TickerTalks' own read on what's driving $ITRN — fundamentals, momentum, or an event — and whether it agrees with the X crowd.

Proven numbersWinding up for a moveAI verdict · as of 2026-10-02

Trading in a tight range and building pressure — a move looks likely soon, but the direction isn't clear yet.

Ituran is a profitable location-and-telematics name — 22% operating margin and 23.6% ROIC with Nov 17 earnings ahead.

Ituran Location and Control provides vehicle-telematics and location services — Israeli-domiciled with a growing LatAm and Israeli vehicle-tracking franchise.

  • The economics are strong: Q1 revenue +20.7% YoY at a 22% operating margin and ROIC of 23.6% — top-decile telematics metrics driven by subscriber growth across LatAm.
  • At 16.6x PE and 2.7x sales the valuation is reasonable for the quality — the market pays for subscriber-driven cash flow in an underpenetrated market.
  • 52-week range position is 49% with vol at 106% of average — mid-range on above-average volume, consolidating ahead of Nov 17 earnings.

Nov 17 Q3 is the gate — any confirmed subscriber growth plus margin stability extends the stock. A soft subscriber-net-add print or LatAm macro shock and the stock gives back some gain.

What to watch: Nov 17 Q3 — subscriber-net-add growth, LatAm revenue trajectory, operating-margin direction, and FY27 guide. A LatAm macro shock is the clear invalidator.

Profitability, valuation, and the next earnings event — at a glance, with rule-of-thumb signals.

Key ratios

P/E
16.6How much investors are paying per dollar of profit the company actually earned in the last 12 months. Lower means the stock looks cheaper relative to earnings.~15–25 is typical for the S&P 500; high-growth names trade 30+; hyper-growth or speculative can be 100+ or negative.
ROIC
23.6%What percentage return the business earns on every dollar of capital (equity + debt) deployed in operations. The cleanest measure of business quality.Above ~15% is high-quality; consistently above 25% suggests a real moat. Below the company's cost of capital is value-destroying.
Op margin
21.8%Operating profit (after sales, marketing, R&D, and overhead but before interest and taxes) as a percentage of revenue. The clearest view of how well the underlying business is run.Mature business above 20% is healthy; software businesses can run 30%+; commodity / retail businesses operate in single digits.
FCF yield
7.8%Free cash flow (operating cash flow minus capex) divided by the company's market cap. The cash-on-cash return you'd get owning the whole business at today's price.Above ~5% is attractive; below ~2% means you're paying up for growth. Capital-light businesses (software) run higher than capital-heavy ones (utilities).
P/S
2.7Same idea as P/E but per dollar of revenue. Useful for companies that aren't profitable yet, where P/E is meaningless.Under ~2 is cheap; software / SaaS often runs 8–15; well above 20 implies the market is pricing in very high future growth.
ROE
29.9%Net income as a percentage of shareholders' equity. Similar to ROIC but counts only the equity side.Above 20% is strong, but can be inflated by leverage — a heavily indebted company can show high ROE with weak underlying ROIC.
Gross margin
50.0%Revenue minus the direct cost of producing what was sold, as a percentage of revenue. The first read on whether the product is structurally profitable.Software / SaaS is typically 70%+; consumer goods 30–50%; commodity / hardware businesses can be under 20%.
D/E
0.0Total debt divided by shareholders' equity. Measures how much the business runs on borrowed money versus owner capital.Under 1 is conservative; 1–2 is typical for mature businesses; over 2 is leveraged and more sensitive to interest rates.
