NFI Group Inc has faced significant challenges, including concerns over its execution, small size, and high debt, which prompted a recent debt restructuring. Despite these issues, the company's Q4 performance showed positive results, alleviating some market fears, particularly regarding its supply chain and tariff management. The stock, while experiencing a considerable drop this year, is viewed as inexpensive at 13x earnings. Nevertheless, experts remain cautious, noting that the debt is still a pressing concern and that its recent price surge may be a suitable exit point for investors. Projections for profitability in 2025 are promising, but the overall market conditions raise doubts about sustained growth in the near term.
Debt continues to be a large deterrent for NFI, however, recent quarterly results were positive and the company's back log is very large. The stock trades at 40x forward-earnings but is cheap on a forward-sales basis at 0.4x. We think NFI is risky and with the recent jump it has had, if an investor was planning on letting go of it, we think now could be an opportunistic time. It is not a buy and hold stock.

We have been concerned on the company's execution, small size, high debt and economic vulnerability. It had to restructure its debt not that long ago. But the Q4 was strong, and its supply chain issue (seats) looks to be resolved. It also says tariffs should be 'manageable'. Expectations going into the quarter were very low so there was a big sigh of relief on this news. Guidance was largely expected to be cut sharply, and it was not. After several years of losses, it is expected to show a nice profit in 2025, and good profit growth in 2026. Debt has been reduced in the past three years, but the other concerns still exist. The stock had a big move but remains down on the year. It is cheap at 13X earnings. Still, it is hard for us to get excited here, just because things 'are not as bad' as feared. We still think it may have a rough time in the type of market backdrop we have this year.
