Quanex Building Products: Strong Upside Is Justified Given Key Metrics

  • Quanex shares have plunged post-acquisition, but I now see the stock as deeply undervalued, and I upgrade my rating to "Strong Buy." Despite short-term profit pressures from the Tyman acquisition, adjusted cash flow and EBITDA are improving, and management's 2025 outlook is robust. The company is trading at a significant discount to peers, with strong long-term growth potential driven by housing deficits and renovation trends.
