Park Aerospace Corp. (PKE) shareholders got a blunt message at the annual meeting Monday: the company is not for sale.
Chairman and CEO Brian Shore told the meeting that while the company fields occasional inbound interest, “there is no interest in selling the company.” He framed the decision as a matter of shareholder value, arguing that a sale would not deliver the premium investors expect because the stock already trades near what a buyer would pay.
Shore also addressed the company's cash position, which stood at roughly $50 million at the end of the fiscal year. He said the board has discussed a special dividend but has not committed to one, preferring to keep the cash for potential acquisitions or reinvestment. “We are not a cash hoarder,” he said. “We are a cash builder.”
The aerospace-printed-circuit-board maker reported fiscal 2026 revenue of $59.1 million, up from $55 million a year earlier, and net income of $10.7 million, or $0.53 a share, compared with $9.4 million, or $0.46 a share, in the prior year.
Shore said the company is seeing steady demand from existing programs, including the F-35 fighter jet and the Boeing 787, and is bidding on new work tied to next-generation aircraft. He cautioned that supply-chain constraints for raw materials remain a headwind but said Park has managed the issue through multiyear purchase agreements.
No shareholder proposals were presented, and all five director nominees were elected. The meeting lasted roughly 30 minutes.
