MTRX $10.45 Beyond the obvious stocks that'll get a short term pop on the hurricane, HD etc... I wanted to look where others don't. This company DOUBLED in the 6 months following Katrina. Earnings report is 9/6... and its near a 52 week low off of weak revenue last time around. It was $22 in February... and its not some BS company. Solid balance sheet, plenty of FCF...Talk about the perfect storm... You guys owe me big-time on this one. https://www.matrixservice.com/

What's your year-to-date market performance, and historical annual average Matrix Service Company...Free Your Mind, as Morpheus said in 1999,
it's not a big company but the long term future of the company isn't good. All their profitability variables (ROE, ROA, have been decreasing and in the last report, they could not even generate revenue to cover their cost of goods sold. Book to market ratio has been increasing, meaning it's losing market value. Their have low debt to equity ratio so it's less likely to be go financially distress; however, This stock isn't worth investing at all since they don't even pay dividend. In addition, they don't report their spending on R& D either but their CEO compensation has been rising ... I suspect that there is serious information asymmetry going on between mgmt and shareholders. imho, it may rise a little bit as pullback but it's more likely to lose more value in the long term.
