Federal Signal (FSS) – $5B market cap; $35M ADV: We removed Federal Signal from the U.S. Focus List. The stock breached its 200-DMA decisively post weak Q4
FY24 results on Wednesday and is trading below all its key moving averages. Revenue from the safety and security systems segment increased only 1% y/y in Q4.
Order growth has decelerated in the past few quarters. Consensus is in line with the midpoint of the company’s guided EPS range for FY25. We believe earnings
upgrades are unlikely in the near term. Next support is at $76.85 (-4%). Fundamental & Technical note

Industrials Themes

Key points from this report:

 

  • Existing home inventories have shrunk as homeowners do not want to give up their low mortgage rates booked during 2020–2021.
    • This is driving prices for traditional homes higher.
  • The housing deficit in the U.S. is good for overall new homes demand.
  • But due to higher mortgage rates and high traditional home prices, buyers are unable to afford.
    • In this scenario, revenue and earnings of traditional homebuilders are taking a hit.
  • The demand for factory-built homes, which costs about one-third of site-built homes, could increase.
  • Included are annotated Datagraphs® for:
    • Traditional homebuilders (those that we like and would wait for better technical action before entering): DHI, LEN, TMHC, GRBK; and
    • Factory-built home manufacturers: CVCO, SKY.

Key points from this report:

  • Defense budgets across European nations are expected to swell over the next few years as the U.S. might pressure NATO members to raise the defense spending target to 5% of GDP, up from the current target of 2%. European defense contractors stand to benefit.
  • With their competitive lead times and lower costs, South Korean defense contractors stand to gain from the EU struggling to raise its defense production capacity after years of decline.
  • Included are annotated Datagraphs® for defense contractors in Europe and South Korea: RHMX.DECSF.FRLDO.ITKOG.NOAM@F.FRSAAB.SEHAGX.DESGA.KRHRO.KRLNX.KR, and ZCM.KR.
