Technical Analysis 
Jun 18, 2026, 12:00 amThis summary was created by AI, based on 2 opinions in the last 12 months.
North American Construction Group (NOA-T) is viewed as a compelling investment opportunity primarily due to its status as a value play in the market. The company has diversified away from its traditional oil sands projects, which now account for only about 10% of its revenue, and has expanded into mining and construction sectors, particularly in the US and Australia. Analysts note that the stock is undervalued compared to its peers, trading at 3.5x operating cash flow and under 10x price-to-earnings ratio, while industry counterparts are typically at 10-12x. Additionally, the stock offers attractive yields ranging from 2.13% to 2.55%. With a consensus price target of $25.27 to $27.16, experts believe there is significant room for growth.
It's diversified phenomenally well internationally over the last few years (should really change the name of the company ;) Used to be oil sands (now only 10% of revenue), now into mining and construction. Big operations in Australia.
At 4x operating cashflow, much cheaper than peers. Unloved, unknown. Growth area. Yield is 2.13%.

Premium contentOur PAST TOP PICK with NOA has triggered its stop at $26. To remain disciplined, we recommend covering the position at this time. Combined with our previous recommendations, this will result in a net investment gain of 20%
Premium contentWe again reiterate NOA as a TOP PICK. NOA's First Nations partner just signed a service contract with a major oilsands producer effective immediately. This will be a good use of their heavy equipment and supports an order backlog now projected over $3 billion. It trades at 13x earnings, 2.4x book and supports a 23% ROE. We continue to recommend a stop-loss at $26, looking to achieve $43 -- upside potential of 38%. Yield 1.2%
(Analysts’ price target is $43.83)Premium contentWe once again reiterate NOA, a heavy equipment services company operating in the oil sands sector, as a TOP PICK. It trades at 12x earnings and 2.2x book and supports a 23% ROE. Free cash flow from operations tripled last quarter, according to the latest reported earnings. We recommend keeping a tight stop at $26 at this time, looking to achieve $43 -- upside potential over 50%. Yield 1.3%
(Analysts’ price target is $43.83)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.

Premium contentTrading at 11x earnings and 2.3x book, we again reiterate NOA as a TOP PICK. The company recently announced a $395 million acquisition in Australia that will expand their presence there further. We recommend trailing up the stop (from $25) to $26 at this time, looking to achieve $40 -- upside potential over 35%. Yield 1.2%
(Analysts’ price target is $40.40)Premium contentNOA is reiterated as a TOP PICK following its recent announcement to acquire an Australian heavy equipment services company. This will greatly expand their market reach. It currently trades at 13x earnings and supports a 26% ROE. Cash reserves are growing, while debt is retired and shares bought back. We recommend trailing up the stop (from $23) to $25, looking to achieve $40 -- upside potential of 19%. Yield 1.0%
(Analysts’ price target is $40.40)Premium contentThe 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.
