ALNT Cover Image

Whether you see them or not, industrials businesses play a crucial part in our daily activities. Unfortunately, this role also comes with a demand profile tethered to the ebbs and flows of the broader economy, and the industry is currently lagging as its six-month return of 8.2% has trailed the S&P 500’s 9.9% gain.

Investors should tread carefully as timing cyclical companies is a challenging task, and any misstep can have you catching a falling knife. Taking that into account, here are three industrials stocks best left ignored.

Allient (ALNT)

Market Cap: $910.7 million

Founded in 1962, Allient (NASDAQ: ALNT) develops and manufactures precision and specialty-controlled motion components and systems.

Why Are We Cautious About ALNT?

Products and services are facing significant end-market challenges during this cycle as sales have declined by 3.2% annually over the last two years
Performance over the past two years was negatively impacted by new share issuances as its earnings per share dropped by 5.7% annually, worse than its revenue
ROIC of 8.1% reflects management’s challenges in identifying attractive investment opportunities, and its falling returns suggest its earlier profit pools are drying up

At $53.28 per share, Allient trades at 22x forward P/E. To fully understand why you should be careful with ALNT, check out our full research report (it’s free for active Edge members).

Mercury Systems (MRCY)

Market Cap: $4.39 billion

Founded in 1981, Mercury Systems (NASDAQ: MRCY) specializes in providing processing subsystems and components for primarily defense applications.

Why Do We Steer Clear of MRCY?

Core business is underperforming as its organic revenue has disappointed over the past two years, suggesting it might need acquisitions to stimulate growth
Efficiency has decreased over the last five years as its operating margin fell by 7.6 percentage points
Issuance of new shares over the last five years caused its earnings per share to fall by 18.3% annually while its revenue grew

Mercury Systems’s stock price of $73.01 implies a valuation ratio of 73.5x forward P/E. Check out our free in-depth research report to learn more about why MRCY doesn’t pass our bar.

Lennar (LEN)

Market Cap: $25.15 billion

One of the largest homebuilders in America, Lennar (NYSE: LEN) is known for constructing affordable, move-up, and retirement homes across a range of markets and communities.

Why Should You Dump LEN?

Product roadmap and go-to-market strategy need to be reconsidered as its backlog has averaged 16.5% declines over the past two years
9.2 percentage point decline in its free cash flow margin over the last five years reflects the company’s increased investments to defend its market position
Shrinking returns on capital suggest that increasing competition is eating into the company’s profitability

Lennar is trading at $102.80 per share, or 15.3x forward P/E. Read our free research report to see why you should think twice about including LEN in your portfolio.
