Summary
Methode Electronics: Transformation Not Proven Yet
Methode Electronics (MEI) remains a hold as transformation progress is not yet reflected in profitability, with automotive losses offsetting industrial gains. Q2 results highlight deepening automotive segment losses and weakening revenue, while industrial margins and cash flow discipline provide some stability. Management maintains ambitious FY2026 guidance, but recovery is still speculative; cash flow improvement and plant initiatives offer cautious optimism.

Methode Electronics: Low Growth, Heavy Debt, No Catalyst Make It A Hold
Methode Electronics faces ongoing operational challenges, with profits under pressure, high debt, and volatile automotive demand limiting near-term upside. Recent results show weak margins, inventory write-downs, and a shift in focus from EV to data center products, but recovery will take time. MEI stock's valuation appears cheap versus peers, but this discount is justified by low profitability and high uncertainty; no clear growth catalysts are present.
