ABM INDUSTRIES INCORPORATED vs ROLLINS INC, two Business Services stocks. A side-by-side on valuation, growth, margins, returns, and what each price is betting.
ABM sells facility services, cleaning and maintaining buildings, a thin-margin trade at 1.75% net that still throws off cash, a 12.42% free-cash yield. Rollins runs pest control through a capital-light franchise and earns a remarkable 38.31% on equity at a 13.77% margin. The market pays for that quality without restraint: 39.69 times earnings and 15.07 times book, against ABM's far humbler 17.5 and 1.54. Rollins is the much larger company, $20.8B to $2.7B, and carries lighter debt, 0.47 versus 1.07.
