The company holds $284.2M in cash, though total debt stands at $1.33B. This level of leverage is common in the industry but worth monitoring as interest rate conditions evolve. The company generates $187.7M in free cash flow annually, which funds everything from R&D to shareholder returns without needing external financing. Return on equity stands at 8.1%, which is decent for the sector. ROE measures how effectively a company uses shareholder capital to generate profits. ROA of 3.0% is on the lower side, which is common in asset-heavy industries. Revenue has been uneven over recent years, ranging from $8.02B to $9.17B.
The relatively low beta of 0.65 suggests DOLE is a less volatile holding compared to the broader index. These risk factors are not exhaustive — macroeconomic shifts, regulatory changes, and competitive dynamics can all influence Dole plc's trajectory.
