What these concentrations mean together
updated 2026-10-18Oil-Dri's exposures split between input supply and one large customer. On the raw-material side, the company depends on its mining operations, and the quality of the clay mined, for a majority of its supply of sorbent minerals, a medium-share structural exposure: it is an own-asset concentration rather than a counterparty one. Alongside it, some products require raw materials or packaging provided by a limited number of suppliers and service providers, a medium-share dependency with no disclosed percentage. On the demand side, sales to Walmart and its affiliates accounted for approximately 18% of total net sales in the latest year, compared with 19% in the prior year. That is a low-share dependency, and it has edged down slightly. Netting these out, the clay-mining dependence is the structural feature that sets the cost and supply base, the limited-supplier exposure is the idiosyncratic shock point, and the Walmart relationship is a customer dependency whose size is modest and stable. The supply-side items are the ones most likely to move the verdict.
