The increasing level of automation and technology adoption for business operations, with a focus on increasing waste internalization rates, is helping margins.

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
