Recent News
On July 28, 2025 Valmont’s Board declared a quarterly dividend of $0.68 per share payable October 15, 2025, to holders of record September 26, 2025, representing an annualized $2.72 per share.
Technical Analysis
ADX registers 20.54, signaling an emerging trend strength; momentum strength sits near the threshold between range and trending conditions and therefore affects the immediacy of directional moves tied to the valuation backdrop.
Directional indicators show bearish pressure: DI+ at 19.64 has trended lower while DI- at 17.95 has trended higher, indicating directional force currently favors the downside and increases near-term price vulnerability relative to the company’s under-valued assessment.
MACD sits at 7.92 with a signal line at 7.51 and shows a peak-and-reversal pattern; that peak-and-reversal denotes bearish momentum even though the MACD currently remains above its signal line, reflecting a recent bullish crossover that has begun to roll over.
MRO reads 29.95 with a peak-and-reversal pattern; a positive MRO indicates price currently trades above the model target and therefore carries potential for a corrective move back toward valuation benchmarks.
RSI at 59.46 displays a peak-and-reversal pattern; momentum cooled from recent highs and suggests limited upside momentum despite price strength versus shorter moving averages.
Price sits at $411.30, above the 12-day EMA ($403.98), 20-day average ($403.86), 50-day average ($383.55) and 200-day average ($337.71); the 12-day EMA trend shows rising short-term price bias while proximity to the upper Bollinger band ($411.37) indicates near-term consolidation risk. SuperTrend lower support appears near $386.53, offering a reference level for pullback scenarios rather than trade triggers.
Fundamental Analysis
Revenue growth year-over-year equals 32.38%, while the most recent quarter-on-quarter revenue change shows -227.88% by the provided quarterly metric; overall revenue totaled $1,050,548,000. The company reported gross profit of $321,167,000 and operating income of $129,497,000 for the period.
EBIT equals $29,553,000, producing an EBIT margin of 2.81%, which falls below the industry peer mean of 10.94% and below the industry peer median of 9.646%. QoQ EBIT margin contracted approximately 78.72% and YoY contracted approximately 80.25%, reflecting compression at the EBIT line versus operating results.
Operating margin stands at 12.33%, above the industry peer mean of 10.239%; the delta between operating margin and a much-lower EBIT margin points to material non-operating items and tax/interest effects that carried through to net results.
Net income recorded a loss of $30,263,000 while operating cash flow reached $167,609,000 and free cash flow reached $135,622,000; free cash flow yield measures 1.93% and exceeds the industry peer mean of 1.064% by this metric, supporting the view that cash generation partially offsets net income volatility.
EPS reported $4.98 versus an estimate of $4.62, a $0.36 beat representing a 7.79% surprise. Forward EPS equals $4.4825 with a forward PE of 70.34. The trailing PE sits at 66.18 and the PEG multiple measures 5.11 while forward PEG reads 5.426, reflecting elevated valuation multiples relative to near-term earnings growth rates.
Balance-sheet metrics show $208,533,000 in cash and short-term investments, a current ratio of 2.15 and a quick ratio of 1.44. Total debt equals $861,093,000 with net debt of $522,129,000 and debt-to-EBITDA at 16.62. Debt-to-equity measures 0.563, which sits slightly below the industry peer mean of 0.668. Enterprise multiple registers 148.40 versus an industry peer mean near 51.10, reflecting a materially higher enterprise valuation relative to EBITDA.
Return metrics present headwinds: return on equity at -1.98% and return on assets at -0.90%, while earnings growth on the provided annual basis shows 12.96% but a YoY earnings change of -5.08% on the most recent comparative metric. WMDST values the stock as under-valued; that valuation sits alongside compressed reported net earnings and elevated enterprise multiples, creating an earnings-to-valuation divergence that warrants monitoring.
