NFI Group Inc has faced significant challenges over the years, including high debt levels and concerns over its economic vulnerability and execution. Although the company recently reported a strong Q4, which alleviated some fears, it had to restructure its debt not long ago. The resolution of its supply chain issues, particularly with seats, has been a positive development, and there are expectations for a profitable 2025, along with good profit growth in 2026. Despite these optimistic signs, the stock remains down for the year and trades at 13 times earnings, raising questions about its future performance in a challenging market backdrop. Experts express caution, viewing NFI as risky while noting that it is not suitable for buy-and-hold investors.
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.
