Financial journalist opinion

National Presto: Magazine Shortage And Moat

National Presto Industries is a cash-rich, debt-free, under-the-radar defense OEM poised to benefit from U.S. reindustrialization and global supply chain fragmentation. NPK's massive backlog, strong balance sheet, and critical DoD contracts create a unique asymmetric opportunity, with potential for substantial outperformance versus the S&P 500. Key risks include premium valuation, execution uncertainty on backlog conversion, and exposure to geopolitical de-escalation, but these are outweighed by upside potential.
