Riverwater Partners Small Cap Strategy Nathan Fredrick, CFA | “Worthington Enterprises (WOR), spun off from Worthington Industries in 2023, is transforming into a focused, asset-light manufacturing platform. It targets 6–8% annual sales growth and 24% EBITDA margins through automation, product innovation, and M&A. Management's initiatives in IoT-enabled products and reshoring trends enhance visibility for multi-year growth. BSD Analysis: Worthington's post-spin structure gives it a sharper focus on building products, consumer cylinders, and sustainable mobility — a mix with better margins and long-term tailwinds. Execution has improved as the company sheds its steel-processing legacy. Cash generation is solid, and capital allocation is disciplined. Yet the stock trades at a discount because investors haven't adjusted to the cleaner portfolio. This is now a lightweight industrial with real growth levers. If margins continue to improve, WOR rerates. A surprisingly compelling transformation story.” | BULL | Q3 2025 Sep 30, 2025 | View Pitch |
Middle Coast Investing LLC Daniel Shvartsman | “The fund took a position in Worthington Industries prior to its split into Worthington Enterprises and Worthington Steel to add diversified industrial exposure. Worthington Steel benefits from secular growth themes like EV development and grid modernization, while Worthington Enterprises offers higher-margin consumer products. The manager views the steel spin-off as a volatile but highly intriguing opportunity.” | BULL | Q4 2023 Jan 3, 2024 | View Pitch |
