North American Construction Group (NOA-T) has effectively diversified its operations in recent years, transitioning from a heavy reliance on oil sands, which now only contributes 10% to its revenue, to a broader focus that includes mining and construction sectors. The company's significant international presence, particularly in Australia, positions it well for future growth. Despite this diversification and potential, it remains relatively undervalued compared to its peers, trading at a mere 4x operating cash flow. With a yield of 2.13% and an analysts' price target of $25.27, it appears to be an attractive investment option that is often overlooked in the market.
Insiders own about 9% of NOA. On a one-year basis, its total return is 60%, it pays a small dividend of 1.5%, its five-year sales and earnings CAGR are impressive at 19% and 37%. Forward sales and earnings estimates are strong, and profit margins have been expanding nicely over the past several years. It is a smaller name ($740M market cap), and its free cash flow yield is around 5%. It trades at a cheap valuation of 6.4X forward earnings and 0.6X forward sales. It has some small-cap risks, but its fundamentals and share price performance have been strong. We feel that NOA looks fairly attractive here, although we would be mindful of position sizing and small-cap risks.

The stock was also up on very strong earnings, with EPS more than 14% ahead of estimates and sales more than 8% ahead. For a $900M company, the $395M acquisition is very significant. NOA entered Australia two years ago, and this deal instantly gives it scale and market share, and allows it to serve its global customers better. It also further diversifies its overall business. It adds about 1,400 employees and a $4B backlog. It is highly accretive to sales and earnings. Debt-financed, there is risk, but the earnings boost is substantial. We think it is a solid deal, and the stock remains cheap overall despite the gains last week.
