PM Images/DigitalVision via Getty Images Thesis I believe Willdan Group, Inc. ( NASDAQ: WLDN ) will make for a compelling medium-to-long-term investment opportunity in the energy infrastructure and grid modernization industry. Despite delivering record quarter-after-quarter earnings this quarter for fiscal 2025, which was only just booked, the stock plummeted by approximately 29-32%. The sharp contraction in value seems to stem from a fiscal 2026 earnings guidance that suggests a mild decline year-over-year in adjusted EPS (by the way, this decline seems to be due to the sunset of tax credits and not any fundamental deterioration). Trading at close to $80 and with a consensus fair value estimate of ~$145, I see a significant valuation discrepancy that perhaps investors might take a while to rectify on account of short-term psychology but should be acquired by patient investors. Factors such as structural demand drivers— powered by AI-enabled electricity consumption & grid modernization, whose growth story is derived from a differentiated consulting-led, innovation-driven business model that should work well within Willdan’s existing ecosystem, a business model with recurring revenue attributes; and a balance sheet that is moving into a net cash position for the first time in almost 10 years. Company Overview Willdan Group is a California-based consulting and technical services company that provides services to utilities, government agencies, and (increasingly) commercial clients, the latter approaching from within the data center ecosystem. Its core competencies are energy efficiency program planning, engineering services, grid planning, distributed energy deployment, and infrastructure advisory. About 85% of the company's revenues are energy-related, putting it in the top tier of pure plays on the energy efficiency & electrification axis within the small-cap space. What draws me to Willdan is this position in the project life cycle. Rather than structuring or execu...

Three dark fleet tankers that loaded Venezuelan oil before the ousting of leader Nicolás Maduro remain stranded in the country, underscoring how its oil industry is still disentangling itself from years of sanctions evasion. All three vessels are positioned less than 10 miles from the Venezuelan coast, according to a government report reviewed by Bloomberg that includes their precise location. They’re among the last remnants of a period when more than half of Venezuela’s crude exports — the main source of revenues for the Maduro regime — was transported in ghost ships to buyers in Asia. With global oil supplies strained by the near closure of the Strait of Hormuz, the stranded vessels highlight Venezuela’s struggle to fully operate transparently, even after the most sweeping US oil sanctions relief since 2019. Supertankers Romana and MS Melenia, along with the ship Galaxy 3, loaded a combined 5 million barrels of crude in mid-December, the data shows. After the Dec. 10 seizure of the tanker Skipper by US naval forces, the ghost ships remained in place and did not depart even after Maduro was toppled weeks later. For months, oil traders have been attempting to gauge how many ghost ships remain in Venezuela as every barrel becomes more valuable amid a global supply squeeze triggered by the Iran war. Heavy, sulfurous oils like Venezuela’s are cheaper than light and sweet varieties, currently priced above $100. The trio of tankers haven’t broadcast their location in months, suggesting they’ve disabled their transponders, a common practice used by dark fleet ships to avoid detection. They’re currently at an anchorage area off the government controlled port of Jose, the country’s top-oil exporting terminal, according to the data and satellite imagery. It’s unclear why they became stranded, while other dark ships have emerged from the shadows to transport US-compliant oil. The vast majority of Venezuelan oil exports are currently handled by companies including Chevron Corp...

Photography By Tonelson/iStock via Getty Images Marzetti Co. ( MZTI ) was named a new short idea at Hedgeye with the potential for 30% downside due to slowing revenue growth and increasing margin pressure. "In F2024 and F2025, Chick-fil-A sales accounted for all the company's revenue growth and 80% of it, respectively," Hedgeye analyst Daniel Biolsi wrote in a note on Sunday. "Chick-fil-A's revenue growth has also decelerated for four consecutive years to 6% last year. Without Chick-fil-A as a significant growth engine, the company's revenue outlook is poor and mis-priced. The Marzetti Company has responded to the slowdown by announcing the acquisition of Bachan's for a whopping 4.6x trailing revenue as it seeks another revenue growth driver." Biolsi added that the "cost outlook is rapidly worsening. Soybean oil, a key ingredient in the sauces and dressings, is seeing prices surge. Freight and diesel costs are also rising due to the Iran conflict. The company will have difficulty passing on the higher costs as it did in the last inflationary period. Our estimates are well below consensus expectations, driven by input cost pressure, weak demand trends, and limited pricing power." Shares of Marzetti ( MZTI ) have fallen 20% over the past year.
