Methode Electronics: Low Growth, Heavy Debt, No Catalyst Make It A Hold

  • Methode Electronics faces ongoing operational challenges, with profits under pressure, high debt, and volatile automotive demand limiting near-term upside. Recent results show weak margins, inventory write-downs, and a shift in focus from EV to data center products, but recovery will take time. MEI stock's valuation appears cheap versus peers, but this discount is justified by low profitability and high uncertainty; no clear growth catalysts are present.
