Advanced Drainage Systems: Down 40% And Still No Bargain
Advanced Drainage Systems shares are down 40% from their highs this summer, but headwinds persist in core construction markets. Analyst sentiment is positive, but near-term growth is challenged by flat revenues and a slight earnings decline expected in FY2026. The company did just boost its dividend payout. Roughly 80% of overall sales are tied to the residential and non-residential construction, both of which are currently challenged.
