Valmont Industries Outlines Strategy for Growth and Shareholder Returns
VMI
Guidance Update
New Projects/Investments
Share Buyback
  • Valmont Industries has significantly improved its financial performance since 2020, with earnings per share (EPS) more than doubling and Return on Invested Capital (ROIC) almost doubling to 16.4%. The company aims to achieve $25-$30 EPS by driving $500 million-$700 million in incremental sales growth.
  • The business is primarily composed of 75% infrastructure and 25% agriculture. Infrastructure is supported by strong tailwinds such as aging infrastructure replacement, energy transition, and increased technology/data consumption. While agriculture is currently in a trough, it benefits from solid long-term drivers like food security and population growth.
  • The company plans to invest approximately $150 million per year in capital expenditures, with about $100 million allocated to growth opportunities, particularly in utility infrastructure capacity. For every $100 million of growth CapEx, Valmont expects at least $100 million in revenue and $1 in EPS.
  • Valmont's capital allocation strategy includes a $700 million share buyback authorization (just under 10% of market cap) to be executed over the next three to four years, and a commitment to regular dividend increases, following a 13% raise in February.

VMI
Guidance Update
New Projects/Investments
Share Buyback
  • Valmont Industries has demonstrated strong financial performance, more than doubling its earnings per share and nearly doubling its return on invested capital to 16.4% since 2020.
  • The company targets $500 million-$700 million in sales growth, projecting an incremental $7-$12 in earnings per share to reach a total of $25-$30.
  • Valmont's strategy is underpinned by its dominant position in infrastructure (75% of business), benefiting from secular tailwinds like aging infrastructure replacement, energy transition, and increasing data consumption.
  • With a strong balance sheet and projected operating cash flow of just under $600 million in 2024, Valmont plans to invest $150 million annually in CapEx (with $100 million for growth), pursue selective M&A, execute a $700 million share buyback, and consistently increase dividends.
