Smith-Midland shares decline as mixed Q3 earnings show stronger product sales but weaker barrier rentals, shaping a cautious outlook for the rest of 2025.
Entering 2025, one of the biggest market narratives investors faced was concentration risk. Despite tariffs coming and going with speed and stagflation a looming specter, concentration risk and the need for diversification continue to linger.
Smith-Midland's strong 2Q25 results were driven by high-margin highway barrier rentals, with impressive OpEx leverage and expanding gross margins. Revenue growth is almost entirely from barrier rentals, but future durability depends on continued government infrastructure spending and potential competition. Management expects 2H25 to be weaker due to non-recurring projects, though the company is expanding barrier inventory for future growth.
SMID posts record Q2 revenues, doubles profit, and outpaces the S&P 500 with strong barrier rentals, soundwall sales and growing backlog.
SMID posts strong Q1 results with net income nearly tripling and shares rising 27% in a month, driven by booming barrier rentals and service revenues.
On Tuesday, Allspring Global Investments expanded its ETF collection with the launch of three new funds. Each of these funds are actively managed.
SMID reports record 2024 results, with revenues rising 32% y/y, driven by strong product demand and a strategic shift toward higher-margin barrier rentals.
Small- and mid-cap (SMID cap) ETFs have seen strong flows recently, making it important that investors fully understand why moving down the cap spectrum can make sense in a falling rate environment. In short, small-and mid-cap stocks, or SMID caps, are more sensitive to interest rates and economic conditions than larger companies.
While many investors seem fixated on the mega cap equities, one would be remiss to ignore the immense potential of SMID caps. There are more than a few reasons why SMID caps currently offer an attractive investment option.
Smith-Midland posts Q3 revenues of $23.6 million, driven by service growth and higher margins, boosting earnings per share to 59 cents.
