Why Do We Think Concrete Pumping Will Underperform?

We're cautious about Concrete Pumping. Here are three reasons why BBCP doesn't excite us and a stock we'd rather own.

1. Long-Term Revenue Growth Disappoints

A company’s long-term sales performance is one signal of its overall quality. Any business can have short-term success, but a top-tier one grows for years. Unfortunately, Concrete Pumping’s 5.2% annualized revenue growth over the last five years was tepid. This fell short of our benchmark for the industrials sector.

2. Projected Revenue Growth Is Slim

Forecasted revenues by Wall Street analysts signal a company’s potential. Predictions may not always be accurate, but accelerating growth typically boosts valuation multiples and stock prices while slowing growth does the opposite.

Over the next 12 months, sell-side analysts expect Concrete Pumping’s revenue to rise by 2%. Although this projection indicates its newer products and services will spur better top-line performance, it is still below average for the sector.

3. EPS Took a Dip Over the Last Two Years

Although long-term earnings trends give us the big picture, we like to analyze EPS over a shorter period to see if we are missing a change in the business.

Sadly for Concrete Pumping, its EPS declined by more than its revenue over the last two years, dropping 49.3%. This tells us the company struggled to adjust to shrinking demand.

Final Judgment

We see the value of companies helping their customers, but in the case of Concrete Pumping, we’re out. With its shares lagging the market recently, the stock trades at 57.3× forward P/E (or $6.80 per share). This multiple tells us a lot of good news is priced in - we think there are better opportunities elsewhere. Let us point you toward one of our all-time favorite software stocks.
