Atkore (ATKR-N) provides equipment for data center and electrical infrastructure, with a focus on electrical raceway solutions. Despite strong fundamentals, the company has faced challenges with weaker quarterly results and concerns about demand for AI-related products. However, it continues to maintain a strong market share and prudently manages its cash reserves. Overall, the stock is viewed as undervalued with potential for long-term growth.
ATKR is somewhat of an AI name. It provides equipment for data center and electrical infrastructure. We think its fudamentals are strong. Net debt is $599.8B currently, which we are fine with given a Net dbet/EBITDA ratio at 0.8x. Total debt-to-equity is also 0.618x and EBIT/Interest Expense is 17.5x. While ATKR has some debt, it generates more than enough cash to cover interest payments and has not been issuing more debt recently. On the tax loss front, it certainly could be a candidate with it down over 40% year-to-date where recent quarterly results were not great with sales and earnings guidance for FY2025 coming in well below expected. Tax loss selling tends to peak this week or next. We think the weak results may be a drag to get investors interested in the near-term. It is cheap still at 11x forward earnings but we would revisit it in January if interested.

ATKR is viewed as a bit of an AI name, providing equipment for data center and electrical infrastructure and this space has seen some negative sentiment as investors become concerned with the demand for AI related products/services over the last month. The company also posted a weaker quarter this past week which didn't help things. Fundamentally things look quite strong here and the valuation is cheap but it might take another quarter or two for investors to get interested in this name again, given the recent results.
