Wajax: Risk/Reward Profile Has Become Drastically Better

  • Wajax is showing signs of a turnaround after five weak quarters, with strong Q1 results suggesting a cyclical bottom has been reached. Growth was driven by machinery sales and product support, but weakness in higher-margin services and spare parts remains a concern. The LTM P/E of 12 is calculated with depressed earnings, and the forward would be closer to 7 times if my conservative assumptions are met.
