Northwest Pipe Company: Growing Demand For Water Infrastructure Due To Ageing System
Summary Northwest Pipe Company specialises in water-related infrastructure products. It faced headwinds in 2023 due to the small bidding market and interest rate environment. The ageing US water infrastructure is in need of repairs to meet the current demand. For the next 20 years, total state needs are forecast at $625 billion. NWPX's strategically located plants in states with higher water CAPEX and wide market reach position itself well to capitalise on this growing demand for water infrastructure.

Northwest Pipe: Larger SPP Bidding Year Expected
Summary Northwest Pipe's 2023 revenue, gross profit margin, and net income per diluted share fell given weaker demand and a smaller bidding year for the SPP segment. Management anticipates a stronger 2024 for the Precast segment and a larger bidding year for the SPP segment. I think the bidding years for the SPP segment could increase as lower energy prices could increase the number of water desalination plants and subsequent demand for water transmission systems. Given a pretty attractive forward PE ratio of 12.28 for 2025 and a decent balance sheet, I rate Northwest Pipe a 'Buy' and I would own it in a diversified portfolio.
