AI Analysis

AI-generated, general educational analysis — not personal investment advice.

I approach Willdan as a Graham-style analyst: what is the business worth, and what am I paying? The company sells energy and infrastructure engineering and consulting services, a people-intensive field with limited evidence in these numbers of a wide competitive moat. Still, the filed record is improving. In fiscal 2025, revenue was $681.6M and net income was $52.6M, or diluted EPS of $3.49, versus fiscal 2024 revenue of $565.8M, net income of $22.6M, and diluted EPS of $1.58. Fiscal 2023 was smaller again: $510.1M of revenue, $10.9M of net income, and $0.80 of diluted EPS. The latest quarter, fiscal Q2 2026 ended 2026-07-03, showed revenue of $231.0M, net income of $24.3M, and diluted EPS of $1.58. Financial health is decent: FairStock calculates debt-to-equity of 0.25, Altman Z-Score of 3.26, ROE of 21.19%, ROCE of 5.86%, and free cash flow of $62.3M, a 5.5% FCF yield. But the price is $74.13 as of 2026-10-13. FairStock's P/E is 17.40, P/B is 3.57, and EV/EBITDA is 15.61. Its Graham Number is only $47.01, giving a margin of safety of -57.69%. The PEG of 0.30 looks cheap only if growth persists, while Piotroski F-Score of 5/9 says quality is mixed. FairStock labels it a TURNAROUND because it returned to profit after a loss within the last three years. I see a real recovery, but not a clear bargain.

In plain English: Willdan provides energy and infrastructure engineering and consulting services. The business looks stronger than a few years ago: sales and profits rose in fiscal 2025, and the latest quarter was profitable. At the recent price of $74.13, however, the shares look expensive when measured against a conservative estimate of value based on earnings and book value.
