RE:RE:company assurancesDont believe its a good time right now to be buying back shares.
The delay of the $35M order (300 truckloads of fab steel) certaily didnt help.
They mentioned that this delay could be pushed out to next fiscal year (after Jan/25).
When it does go out, it will be a nice sales bump to that qtr.
The ill advised stock sale is behind them now. Cant take that back.
But I believe we would be down somewhat just the same (though not nearly this much), because of the order backlog.
Part of the valuation of these infrasture/construction companies is that all important order backlog.
We know they are efficient at what they do and are quite capable of turning very nice profits when they get the work.
Back on May 28th when they announced new contracts for $90M, that brought the order backlog to $600M+. It was also announced at the time that the company expected to complete most of that backlog byJan 2026.
As of July 31st, the order backlog stood at $402.3M (still projected to take them to appr Jan/26).
The market is fwd thinking/looking.
They need to win some contracts and announce some deals.
That will stop the selling pressure and attract some new buying in the shares.
Its just the nature of this business.
