Description: MEI Methode Electronics December 29, 2025
Methode Electronics (MEI) designs, engineers, manufactures and sells mechatronic components across three core segments-Automotive, Industrial and Interface. The Automotive segment delivers integrated consoles, ergonomic switches, transmission lead-frames, LED lighting and sensor systems (including magneto-elastic sensors) to OEMs and their tier-1 suppliers. The Industrial segment produces lighting, safety radios, high-current busbars, PowerRail assemblies and flexible power cabling for aerospace, data-center, military and transportation applications. The Interface segment focuses on high-speed copper-based data-center interconnects, broadband solutions and consumer-touch panel interfaces.
In FY 2023 MEI generated roughly $2.1 billion in revenue with an operating margin near 9 %, reflecting steady demand in its diversified end-markets. Growth is being driven by three macro trends: (1) accelerating electric-vehicle adoption, which is boosting demand for high-voltage power modules and sensor suites; (2) expanding cloud-computing infrastructure, fueling a 15 % YoY rise in data-center power-distribution orders; and (3) increased industrial automation, supporting a 12 % YoY increase in custom power-product shipments. The company’s exposure to semiconductor supply constraints remains a material risk, but its broad product mix helps mitigate concentration risk.
For a deeper quantitative view, the ValueRay platform offers a granular breakdown of MEI’s valuation metrics and scenario analyses.
