Dividend Power Score
A single, comprehensive score designed to measure the true strength of a company’s dividend.
This score combines three essential pillars of dividend quality:
Consistency – Measures how reliable the dividend has been over time, focusing on payment history, stability, and the absence of cuts or suspensions.
Payability – Assesses the company’s financial ability to sustain its dividend, taking into account cash flow, earnings coverage, balance sheet strength, and overall financial health.
Growth – Evaluates the long-term growth of both the dividend and the company’s share price, highlighting businesses that consistently increase payouts while creating shareholder value.
Higher scores identify companies that have historically delivered dependable income alongside sustained dividend growth and long-term capital appreciation.
Company Overview
1847 Holdings LLC is a publicly traded holding company focused on acquiring and operating small, founder- or family-owned businesses in the industrial, infrastructure, and consumer sectors. The company operates under a long-term ownership model, seeking businesses with stable cash flows, defensible market positions, and opportunities for operational improvement. Its shares trade on Nasdaq under the ticker LBRA. The company positions itself as a permanent capital provider rather than a private equity sponsor, emphasizing continuity of operations and retention of existing management teams.
The firm was founded in 2013 and completed its initial public offering in 2019. Since inception, 1847 Holdings has pursued a strategy of growth through acquisitions, diversifying its revenue base across multiple operating subsidiaries. Over time, the company has evolved from a single-asset operator into a multi-subsidiary holding structure with exposure to niche manufacturing, environmental services, and construction-related end markets.
Business Operations
1847 Holdings generates revenue through its portfolio of operating subsidiaries, which are managed as independent business units. Key operating segments include Infrastructure, Industrial, and Consumer, with revenue primarily derived from product sales and contracted services. The company’s subsidiaries typically serve business-to-business customers, including utilities, municipalities, industrial clients, and commercial enterprises.
Notable subsidiaries include High Mountain Door & Trim Inc., a manufacturer and distributor of doors and millwork products; Asien’s Appliance, a regional appliance retailer; and Julien’s Aerospace, a manufacturer of aerospace and defense components. Operations are primarily domestic, with limited international sales through certain industrial customers. The company does not rely on proprietary platform technology but emphasizes operational controls, shared services, and centralized capital allocation.
Strategic Position & Investments
The company’s strategic direction centers on acquiring controlling interests in profitable small businesses where owners are seeking liquidity or succession solutions. Growth initiatives include add-on acquisitions within existing subsidiaries, organic expansion through new contracts or product lines, and operational efficiencies achieved through centralized oversight. Capital allocation decisions are typically funded through a combination of equity issuance, debt financing, and operating cash flow.
1847 Holdings has completed multiple acquisitions since becoming public, including High Mountain Door & Trim Inc. and Julien’s Aerospace, which expanded its exposure to construction materials and aerospace manufacturing, respectively. The company has indicated interest in infrastructure-adjacent sectors such as environmental services and specialty manufacturing. Information on future investments beyond publicly announced transactions is limited; data inconclusive based on available public sources.
Geographic Footprint
The company is headquartered in New York, United States, and its operations are primarily concentrated in the United States. Subsidiaries maintain facilities and sales operations across several states, reflecting a decentralized operating model tailored to regional markets. Customer reach varies by subsidiary, with some serving local or regional markets and others selling nationally.
International exposure is limited and indirect, primarily through customers that export products or operate globally, particularly in the aerospace and industrial manufacturing segments. The company does not report significant standalone international operations or foreign subsidiaries based on publicly available disclosures.
Leadership & Governance
1847 Holdings is led by a management team with experience in investment management, operations, and small-business acquisitions. The leadership philosophy emphasizes disciplined capital allocation, long-term value creation, and maintaining the entrepreneurial culture of acquired businesses while providing strategic and financial oversight at the holding-company level.
Key executives include:
- Ellery W. Roberts – Chief Executive Officer
- Brian Silvay – Chief Financial Officer
- James T. Doyle – Chief Operating Officer
The company is governed by a board of directors responsible for strategic oversight, risk management, and corporate governance. Founder involvement remains central to strategic vision and capital allocation, with management closely involved in acquisition sourcing and integration.
