Insights Ahead: Northwest Pipe's Quarterly Earnings

Investors looking for stocks in the Metal Products - Procurement and Fabrication sector might want to consider either Norsk Hydro ASA (OTC: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/nhydy#OTC">NHYDY</a>) or Northwest Pipe Co. (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/nwpx#NASDAQ">NWPX</a>). But which of these two stocks presents investors with the better value opportunity right now? Let&#39;s take a closer look.
There are plenty of strategies for discovering value stocks, but we have found that pairing a strong Zacks Rank with an impressive grade in the Value category of our Style Scores system produces the best returns. The proven Zacks Rank emphasizes companies with positive estimate revision trends, and our Style Scores highlight stocks with specific traits.
Norsk Hydro ASA has a Zacks Rank of #2 (Buy), while Northwest Pipe Co. has a Zacks Rank of #3 (Hold) right now. The Zacks Rank favors stocks that have recently seen positive revisions to their earnings estimates, so investors should rest assured that NHYDY has an improving earnings outlook. But this is just one piece of the puzzle for value investors.
Value investors analyze a variety of traditional, tried-and-true metrics to help find companies that they believe are undervalued at their current share price levels.
The Style Score Value grade factors in a variety of key fundamental metrics, including the popular P/E ratio, P/S ratio, earnings yield, cash flow per share, and a number of other key stats that are commonly used by value investors.
NHYDY currently has a forward P/E ratio of 10.48, while NWPX has a forward P/E of 15.17. We also note that NHYDY has a PEG ratio of 0.20. This metric is used similarly to the famous P/E ratio, but the PEG ratio also takes into account the stock&#39;s expected earnings growth rate. NWPX currently has a PEG ratio of 3.03.
Another notable valuation metric for NHYDY is its P/B ratio of 1.17. The P/B ratio pits a stock&#39;s market value against its book value, which is defined as total assets minus total liabilities. For comparison, NWPX has a P/B of 1.27.
Based on these metrics and many more, NHYDY holds a Value grade of A, while NWPX has a Value grade of C.
NHYDY stands above NWPX thanks to its solid earnings outlook, and based on these valuation figures, we also feel that NHYDY is the superior value option right now.

NHYDY Or NWPX: Which Is the Better Value Stock Right Now?

U.S. stock markets suffered a bloody blow in the first week of August. Wall Street&#39;s turmoil was triggered by weak labor market data, which heightened concerns of a near-term recession. The massive unwinding of Yen-carry trade due to an unexpected rate hike by the Bank of Japan aggravated the situation.
However, U.S. stock markets recovered their lost ground to a great extent within the next 3-4 trading sessions as more released data showed that the fundamentals of the U.S. economy remain firm. Market participants started to buy on the dip.
Consequently, a few stocks have shown price strength. We have primarily targeted stocks that have recently been on a bull run. Such stocks have a high chance of carrying the momentum forward.
If a stock is continuously witnessing an uptrend, there must be a solid reason or it would have probably crashed. So, looking at stocks capable of beating the benchmark that they have set for themselves seems rational.
However, recent price strength alone cannot create magic. Therefore, other relevant parameters are needed to create a successful investment strategy.
Here&#39;s how you should create the screen to shortlist the current as well as the potential winners.
<h2>Screening Parameters:</h2>
Percentage Change in Price (4 Weeks) greater than zero: This criterion shows that the stock has moved higher in the last four weeks.
Percentage Change Price (12 Weeks) greater than 10: This indicates that the stock has seen momentum over the last three months. This lowers the risk of choosing stocks that may have drawn attention due to the overwhelming performance of the overall market in a very short period.
Zacks Rank 1: No matter whether market conditions are good or bad, stocks with a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) have a proven history of outperformance.
Average Broker Rating 1: This indicates that brokers are also highly hopeful about the stock&#39;s future performance.
Current Price greater than 5: The stocks must all be trading at a minimum of $5.
Current Price/ 52-Week High-Low Range more than 85%: This criterion filters stocks that are trading near their respective 52-week highs. It indicates that these are strong enough in terms of price.
Just these few criteria narrowed down the search from over 7,700 stocks to seven.
Let&#39;s discuss five out of these seven stocks:

SiteOne Landscape (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/site#NYSE">SITE</a>) has acquired Cohen &amp; Cohen Natural Stone, thus expanding its capacity to provide a full range of hardscape products and landscape supplies to its customers in eastern Canada. 
Cohen and Cohen Natural Stone provides a range of natural stone, concrete, masonry and landscape accessories. It has one location in Ottawa, Canada and is an authorized dealer for brands such as Unilock, Best Way Stone, Porcea Stone and Banas Stone. Cohen and Cohen also provides in-house fabrication services, such as ripping, cutting and coring, to ensure that every piece of stone is tailor-made to the client&#39;s specific requirements. 
This is the fourth acquisition for SiteOne Landscape so far in 2024. Earlier this month, the company announced the acquisition of AC Florida Pavers, LLC, which operates under the trade name Hardscape.com. This buyout will expand SITE&#39;s ability to provide hardscape products to its Florida customers and is a significant addition to its existing premium hardscapes offerings nationally. 
On Apr 29, 2024, SiteOne Landscape announced the acquisition of Eggemeyer, a wholesale distributor of bulk landscape supplies.&nbsp; It caters to the greater central and south Texas market from a location in New Braunfels, TX. This addition strengthens SITE&#39;s position as the leading bulk landscape distributor in the rapidly growing central Texas region.
On Apr 30, the company announced that it purchased a majority stake in Devil Mountain Wholesale Nursery, LLC (Devil Mountain), with the option to purchase the remaining interest in future years. Devil Mountain is the largest wholesale distributor of landscape trees and plants in California. It has eight wholesale nursery distribution branches and six growing facilities across the state.
In addition to the 11 acquisitions completed in 2023, the company&#39;s recent buyouts reflect its ongoing expansion strategy to broaden its presence across various markets.
As of the end of the first quarter, SiteOne Landscape had more than 690 branches and four distribution centers covering 45 U.S. states and six Canadian provinces. Despite being the industry leader and three times larger than its closest competitor, SITE currently holds only a 17% share of the $25 billion wholesale landscaping products distribution market. Backed by its solid acquisition pipeline and strong balance sheet, the company has the potential to capture a larger share of the market.
In the first quarter, the company&#39;s net sales increased 8% year over year to $904.8 million. Organic daily sales increased 1% compared with the prior-year quarter due to solid demand. However, pricing declined 4% as double-digit deflation in commodity products like fertilizer, seed and PVC pipe more than offset modest cost increases in other product lines. SiteOne Landscape reported a loss of 43 cents per share against a loss of 10 cents in the year-ago quarter as higher net sales were offset by a lower gross margin and increased SG&amp;A expense.&nbsp; 
SiteOne Landscape anticipates prices to be down approximately 2% in 2024. However, improved volumes will reflect solid end-market demand. The company thus expects organic daily sales growth in the low single digits. SITE expects EBITDA margins to improve aided by operational initiatives, SG&amp;A management and contribution from acquisitions. Adjusted EBITDA is expected to be in the range of $420 - $455 million.
<h3>Price Performance</h3>
Shares of SiteOne Landscape have lost 14.9% over the past year compared with the industry&#39;s 11.3% decline.
