The first award is a 3-year maintenance dredging contract for the Port, estimated to begin work in September 2025.

Great Lakes Stock Trading at a Discount: Is It Buy Time Now?

Great Lakes Dredge & Dock Corporation's GLDD current valuation is enticing for investors. Currently, the stock is trading below its industry peers with a forward 12-month price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of 12.43X, as evidenced by the chart below. Moreover, the discounted valuation of GLDD compares favorably with a few of the other market players, including Orion Group Holdings, Inc. ORN, Quanta Services, Inc. PWR and Granite Construction Incorporated GVA. The 12-month P/E ratios of Orion Group, Quanta and Granite Construction are 31.69X, 32.73X and 13.98X, respectively. Image Source: Zacks Investment Research The discounted valuation of GLDD stock, compared with its peers, advocates for an attractive entry point for investors. That said, in the long term, the valuation could move toward a premium, given the strong market fundamentals backing the company's revenue visibility and Texas-based dredging services provider is mainly gaining from large-scale capital and coastal protection projects compared with mainstream maintenance dredging. Thanks to its resilience in offering such services, it enjoys a competitive edge in the market. Moreover, its new build program, proposed in 2020, catalyzes its ability to offer such services efficiently and expand the margins in the process. With such favorable market fundamentals and its in-house capabilities, the company is consistently able to enhance its liquidity position, thus increasing space for strategic long-term investments and shareholder GLDD's shares have soared 34.6% in the past three months, outperforming the Zacks Building Products - Heavy Construction industry, the broader Zacks Construction sector and the S&P 500 index. The detailed price performance can be studied from the chart below. Image Source: Zacks Investment Research Let's delve deeper into understanding the factors driving GLDD's momentum. Great Lakes is significantly benefiting from the robust demand trends for large-scale capital and coastal protection projects. This is because it houses the specifications that are required to offer these services, differing from maintenance dredging, allowing it a competitive advantage over other market players like Orion Group, which mainly offers mainstream dredging services. As of March 31, 2025, GLDD's substantial dredging backlog was $1 billion compared with $879.4 million as of last year's first quarter, with capital and coastal protection projects accounting for 95% of the total dredging main driver for coastal restoration projects is the increased government funding for infrastructure projects, at the state and federal levels, due to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers or FEMA-backed initiatives backed by the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) and the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA). These projects being government-funded, reduce payment failure risks, and with being larger in scale and having longer duration, it also ensures efficient asset utilization. Such characteristics of these projects not only boost the company's revenue visibility but also foster its margin growth. Tailwinds from public infrastructure spending are also aiding other market players like Quanta and Granite Construction. Proposed in 2020, the new build program was approved and rolled out to renew and modernize GLDD's fleet. Through this program, the company mainly aims to stand tall for offering services in coastal restoration and shoreline protection, establishing a resilient business model. As part of this program, the company is currently undergoing construction of Acadia, the first U.S.-flagged Jones Act-compliant subsea rock installation vessel, which is expected to be delivered by the first quarter of 2026. Acadia will be considered for domestic and international offshore wind projects alongside critical subsea infrastructure protection the newest hopper dredge, the Amelia Island (expected delivery in the third quarter of 2025) and the Galveston Island have been designed specifically by GLDD to work efficiently in shallow and narrow waters along the U.S. coastlines, specifically for coastal protection projects such as beach restoration, wetlands improvements and Barrier Island construction. With the program wrapping up by the end of 2025 or the beginning of 2026, the company expects to witness incremental revenue trends and increased free cash flow thereafter. Given the current market uncertainties and an inflationary scenario, maintaining a substantial liquidity position alongside making strategic business investments is a strenuous task. Great Lakes is managing this job just fine by leveraging its increasing top line and almost concluding its investment of March 31, 2025, GLDD had cash and cash equivalents of $11.3 million, up from $10.2 million at 2024-end. Net cash from operating activities, as of the same period, was $60.9 million, up year over year from $38.4 million, attributable to higher earnings in the period and an increase in billings above contract revenues. With no debt maturities until 2029 and liquidity of more than $300 million, the company has a stable liquidity position to function in an uncertain market scenario. GLDD's earnings estimates for 2025 and 2026 have trended upward in the past 60 days by 39.1% to 96 cents per share and 11.8% to 95 cents, respectively. The estimated figure for 2025 reflects 14.3% year-over-year growth, with the same for 2026 indicating a 0.4% inch-down. EPS Trend Image Source: Zacks Investment Research Technical indicators suggest a continued strong performance for Great Lakes. From the graphical representation given below, it can be observed that GLDD stock is riding above both the 50-day simple moving average (SMA) and the 200-day SMA, signaling a bullish trend. The technical strength underscores positive market sentiment and confidence in GLDD's financial health and prospects. 50 & 200-Day Moving Averages Image Source: Zacks Investment Research As discussed above, strong demand trends for large-scale capital and coastal protection projects, backed by a favorable government funding scenario in the US, are the main driving factors for Great Lakes' revenues and margins. The company's competitive edge over its peers for offering these services, thanks to its multi-year new build program, is an added catalyst amid the favorable market optimism regarding GLDD stock is reflected in three of the three recommendations pointing at a "Strong Buy'. Image Source: Zacks Investment Research Thus, based on the above discussion and trends of the technical indicators, this Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) stock is a decent choice to be added to the portfolio for now.

The year 2025 has started strongly with almost all business divisions reporting good growth. Nubeqa® continued to drive the growth of the Group and the Innovative Medicines business division. Both royalty income and product sales increased significantly from the comparison period. In addition, Nubeqa®'s product sales grew from the previous quarter and were at an all-time high so far. In Branded Products, all therapy areas grew nicely. Starting from this reporting period, we will split the division's net sales by three therapeutic areas. Each therapy area's strategy is to build business around one key product group. In Respiratory, the key product group is Easyhaler® product portfolio, in CNS entacapone products and in Women's Health Divina® series. Generics and Consumer Health and Animal Health business divisions also continued their growth path as expected in the first quarter of 2025. The decline in Fermion's external net sales from the comparison period is explained by the allocation of capacity more to internal use, as well as by timing of deliveries. Operating profit grew again significantly faster than net sales, which is mostly explained by the growth of Nubeqa® royalties and product sales, but also by the good development of the rest of the business. The growth of Nubeqa® royalties was strong, especially considering the fact that, as usual, the previous quarter's product sales, which were very good at the end of 2024, have been deducted from the royalty. Operating expenses increased but were lower than we anticipated. Sales and marketing expenses were increased by, among other things, investments in the promotion of the Easyhaler® product portfolio, as well as the Japanese sales office established last year. The increase in research and development costs is explained by the progress of clinical development projects and the research portfolio, where the costs of biological medicines, in particular, increase significantly as they approach the clinical development stage. US import tariffs continue to be a hot topic worldwide, and there is a lot of uncertainty around the topic right now. The United States is an important market for Orion, and we will, of course, follow the development of the situation closely. In March, we announced that Orion is establishing a new research & development centre in Cambridge, UK during 2025. With this we aim to accelerate our global growth strategy and the development of innovative medicines. The new centre will focus on the pharmaceutical development of new biological and large-molecule therapies. Orion's own clinical development projects progressed as planned during the early part of the year. In addition, we have added to Orion's list of key clinical development projects a Phase 3 project, in which our partner Tenax develops oral levosimendan for the treatment of pulmonary hypertension in heart failure with preserved ejection fraction. Tenax has announced that it will increase the number of patients in the ongoing study and plans to start during 2025 a second phase III study which is aiming for global registration. With these advances, we felt the time was right to include Tenax Phase III projects with levosimendan in Orion's research pipeline. The original license agreement with Tenax (formerly Phyxius) was signed already in 2013. All in all, the year 2025 has started very well and from here it is good to continue this year forward together with all Orionees and numerous partners.' Outlook for 2025 Net sales are estimated to be EUR 1,550 million to EUR 1,650 million. Operating profit is estimated to be EUR 350 million to EUR 450 million.
