To summarize, we found that Smith A O Corp ranked in the 50th percentile in terms of potential gain offered. We should note, though, that the most conservative analysis suggests this stock will yield negative results -- and thus may be a potential short opportunity. As for the metrics that stood out in our discounted cash flow analysis of Smith A O Corp, consider:
- Interest coverage, a measure of earnings relative to interest payments, is 61.81 -- which is good for besting 94.78% of its peer stocks (US stocks in the Industrials sector with positive cash flow).

- AOS's estimated cost of debt, based largely on its market capitalization and its interest coverage ratio, is 3%; for context, that number is higher than 52.9% of tickers in our DCF set.
