L.B. Foster Company: Even In Light Of Uncertainty, The Bull Thesis Remains
L.B. Foster Company offers compelling upside as a small-cap stock, with rising backlog, orders, and improving financials supporting a continued 'buy' rating. Despite recent underperformance versus the broader market, the company's revenue, profits, and cash flows are climbing, and shares remain attractively valued. Growth in Infrastructure Solutions, especially precast concrete, offsets rail segment weakness, with government spending fueling demand and new production capacity online.

Taking A Small (Speculative) Position In L.B. Foster Company
I'm taking a small, speculative position in L.B. Foster Company due to its extremely cheap valuation, despite recent poor financial performance. The market is paying only about $0.50 for $1 of earnings, and shares trade at just over 7 times earnings, signaling deep value. While financial results have been weak, FSTR remains viable and is actively buying back shares, indicating management's confidence.
