Connecting The Dots: SJ flash read-through - VMI Q3 results highlight strong utility demand

TSX: SJ | CAD 86.18 | Sector Perform | Price Target CAD 97.00

Sentiment: Neutral

Our take. Stella-Jones’ US peer Valmont (not covered), which makes utility support structures among other things, today reported Q3 results that came in ahead of expectations (Valmont shares are up +10% on the day). Overall, we see commentary from the conference call as in line with our favourable utility pole outlook at Stella-Jones and therefore as neutral (positive bias) to sentiment. Our positive bias stems from commentary that utility pole capex is expected to remain "elevated for many years" vs. our expectation for a return to high-single digit growth rates in 2026 (from mid-teen in 2024 and 2025). Stella-Jones reports results in two weeks and key for us on the call will be colour on the utility pole volume outlook, in addition to pole pricing trends given increasing capacity across the industry.

What happened? Stella Jones’ US peer Valmont today reported Q3 results, with adjusted EPS of $4.11 coming in ahead of consensus $4.01.
