zhudifeng/iStock via Getty Images Powell Industries ( POWL ) is a specialized provider of custom-engineered electrical infrastructure systems used to control, distribute, and manage power in industrial environments. The company serves end markets including utilities, oil & gas, transportation, and the ever-growing data center market. They are a viable supplier to large-scale capital projects tied to energy infrastructure and separate themselves from competitors by their highly engineered, project-specific solutions. The stock is up 90% YTD and 84% since I gave them a buy rating right before their Q4 2025 earnings last November. At the time I had anticipated exceptional earnings that did not disappoint, provoking a bull run that has moved the share price from $95 to now well over $200. Earnings growth, industry tailwinds on high demand, and discounted valuation led to this nice run. Seeking Alpha The company recently completed a 3-for-1 stock split, a move aimed at improving share accessibility and trading liquidity following its strong share price appreciation. The stock has gained 20% in less than a week since the split. Valuation has risen and leads me to believe that growth needs to scale more and quickly to catch up to what the share price has done. I think growth on continued backlog and order strength will extend the earnings trend, but I think I would need to see multiple quarters of huge earnings expansion before another buy rating. Margins remain high, and the stock split could allow for increased demand at a lower share price, but I have POWL as a hold right now. The Stock Split Effect The three-for-one stock split began at market open on April 6, and the company said they expect this will increase the number of shares of their outstanding common stock from 12.1 million shares to about 36.4 million shares. CEO Brett Cope said this is a reflection of strong performance and confidence in the future outlook. The stock split adjusts accordingly and does not af...

traveler1116/iStock Unreleased via Getty Images Introduction Back when I first covered Hormel Foods Corporation ( HRL ), I called them a “Dividend King That's Too Cheap To Ignore At Decade Lows,” highlighting their solid dividend yield and strong fundamentals, with a portfolio that can adapt to some of the ongoing trends and risks in the industry, potentially allowing them to continue their slow and steady growth trajectory. With the stock now down about 12.5% since then, the valuation seems to take into account significant levels of risk, while the company remains in a healthy financial position and should be able to keep paying and increasing their dividend in the long run. Business As Usual, So Far Hormel Foods Corporation IR Despite the ongoing macro pressure, HRL’s latest report was fine overall, with a slight beat on EPS and a small miss on the market’s revenue estimates , with a 1.6% increase in net sales, marked by a 7.4% increase in foodservice and 7.7% internationally against a 1.8% drop in retail, while the free cash flow reached a solid $280.22 million. Hormel Foods Corporation IR For the rest of FY26, HRL continues to expect net sales of $12.2 billion to $12.5 billion, a 1% to 4% increase in organic net sales growth, and $1.43 to $1.51 in Adj. Diluted EPS, while the adjusted operating income would grow by a strong 4% to 10% to $1.06 billion to $1.12 billion while recently selling their whole-bird turkey business to further streamline operations and reduce their exposure to commodities. The CAPEX is also still expected to reach $260 million to $290 million in FY26, below last year's $310.9 million, potentially boosting their FCF alongside their inventory normalization following the build-up in 2025. Meanwhile, the company's long-term goals continue to target 2% to 3% organic net sales growth and 5% to 7% operating income growth, with a specific focus on their protein-centric portfolio. Hormel Foods Corporation IR Financially, based on HRL’s latest report...
