Own $EPHE with $BDOUY instead of Indonesia! Starting to inflect while $EIDO is down. Oil still could pressure this but the best way to play south east Asia unless you have brokerage for individual stocks there.
BDCs and REITs puking along with other interest rate sensitives. Good day for the shorts again! The worst of the bunch. Short book getting too small to matter as much lol
Perma-Pipe (PPIH)
Stock Price: $27.91
Market Cap: $229mm
Enterprise Value: $267mm
EV/EBITDA (NTM): 7.4x
Given upside: 80%
3y rev CAGR: 14%
Perma-Pipe manufactures engineered coatings, insulation, containment and leak-detection systems for energy, water and other infrastructure.
Mgmt shifted away from price-led district heating/cooling bids to higher-value technical selling, closer involvement in customer specifications, deeper national-oil-company relationships and local manufacturing in markets where domestic-content rules influence awards. The opportunity set now includes oil and gas, water infrastructure, large-scale energy and industrial projects, plus North American data-center cooling. This transformation coincides with expected growth in Middle Eastern oil and water investment and rapid data-center construction. Rev grew at a 14% three-year CAGR, and the shares trade at 7x trailing EV/EBITDA with a 5% pro forma adjusted FCF yield; long-term debt is $29.9 million. Higher volumes through existing plants should drive operating leverage; new credit capacity enables larger contracts. Pernas models revenue ~$226m→$340m by 2028 and gross margin ~31%→35%, putting shares at ~5x its 2028 earnings estimate; sees ≥80% upside.
