Riverwater Micro Opportunities Strategy Nathan Fredrick, CFA | “Miller Industries ($MLR) is the global market leader in towing and recovery equipment, designing and assembling bodies for light/heavy-duty wreckers, rotators up to 100 tons, and car carriers under premier brands like Century, Holmes, and Vulcan. The manager articulates a high-conviction bullish deep-dive thesis, viewing the business as an essential category leader whose earnings have bottomed and are mispriced at trough cycle levels. Miller possesses a formidable economic moat rooted in distribution channel lock-in; over 90% of its independent distributors carry Miller equipment exclusively despite no contractual mandate. End-market demand is non-cyclical, dictated by total vehicle miles driven, accidents, and an aging vehicle fleet rather than GDP fluctuations. After clearing distributor destocking that depressed 2025 EPS to $1.98, profitability is rebounding, with Q2 2026 EPS reaching $0.63 on $240 million in revenue. Supported by 3% price hikes, operating cash flows are internally funding a $100 million manufacturing expansion without debt dilution. At $52.61, the stock trades under 10x 2024 earnings and roughly 14x mid-cycle recovery earnings. Concrete operational catalysts include a $200+ million military vehicle contract initiating production in 2027 and the completion of its 200,000-square-foot facility in late 2027. Primary risks include OEM truck chassis supply shortages, distributor destocking cycles, and tariff inflation on raw steel.” | BULL | Q3 2026 Oct 15, 2026 | View Pitch |
