AI Rating

Neutral

Valmont Industries fertigt verzinkte Stahlstrukturen für Stromnetze, Beleuchtung, Verkehr und Mobilfunk sowie Kreisberegnungsanlagen; in den sechs geprüften Berichten (2× 10-K, 4× 10-Q) ist weder ein KI-Produkt noch ein KI-Umsatz noch ein belegter operativer KI-Einsatz zu finden. Die vier jüngsten Quartalsberichte 10-Q (Q2 2025 bis Q2 2026) enthalten die Begriffe „artificial intelligence“ und „machine learning“ kein einziges Mal. Im Geschäftsbericht 10-K für 2025 tauchen sie sechs- beziehungsweise einmal auf — ausschließlich als Nachfragetreiber der Kunden (Rechenzentrumsbau erhöht den Bedarf an Übertragungskapazität), als Absichtserklärung im Risikoteil („We may adopt and integrate generative artificial intelligence and machine learning […] tools into our operations“) und in der Standard-Passage zu Cyberangriffen. Bemerkenswert ist der Rückweg: Das einzige echte KI-Geschäft des Konzerns, die 2021 erworbene Prospera Technologies Ltd. für KI-gestützte Feldüberwachung, wurde 2023 im Rahmen einer Wertminderung von 137,2 Mio. US-$ im Landwirtschafts-Segment abgeschrieben und 2025 vollständig abgewickelt; daraus resultierte der Abzug für wertlos gewordene Beteiligungspapiere von 73,8 Mio. US-$, der die Steuerquote 2025 auf 6,3 Prozent drückte. Die Produktbeschreibung der Agrartechnik im 10-K für 2025 nennt nur noch „advanced monitoring, analysis, and automation“ und Predictive Analytics ohne KI-Bezug. Der KI-Boom erreicht Valmont damit ausschließlich mittelbar über die Investitionsbudgets der Versorger — messbar in der Produktlinie North America Utility, die im zweiten Quartal 2026 um 33,9 Prozent auf 456,7 Mio. US-$ wuchs —, nicht über eigene KI-Produkte oder belegten KI-Einsatz.

Growth Score

5 of 10 Solid growth

Ten checks against the annual reports — each one passed counts a point.

  • Revenue grows by more than 15% a year over three years -1.9% failed
  • More than 10% revenue growth is expected for the coming year 6.4% failed
  • Share count grows by less than 3% a year -2.6% passed
  • Revenue growth plus cash-flow margin add up to at least 40 ("Rule of 40") 8.3% failed
  • Gross margin at 40% or higher and without meaningful erosion 30.2% failed
  • Goodwill from acquisitions does not grow faster than revenue 17.0% passed
  • Net debt below twice EBITDA 1.5 x EBITDA passed
  • Operating cash flow covers the profits of the last three years 494 m passed
  • Return on capital at 15% or higher, or up versus two years ago 19.8% passed
  • Insiders hold at least 10% or are net buyers 2.6% failed

A criterion without figures counts neither as passed nor as failed; a score is only produced from 7 judgeable criteria upwards. Source: fundamental data. All ten criteria in detail

Highlighted are things our editorial team noticed: green = stands out as strong, red = deserves a closer look. No single metric is a verdict on its own — always read it in context.

What Do These Terms Mean?
EPS (Earnings Per Share):
Quarterly profit divided by the total share count — how much of the profit works out to a single share.
YoY (Year over Year):
Change versus the same quarter a year ago — this is how you compare without seasonal distortion (e.g. the holiday shopping season).
Sales:
All revenue for the quarter, before any costs are deducted — the top line of the income statement.
Net Margin:
What percentage of sales is left over as profit in the end. Negative means the company is posting a loss.
OCF (Operating Cash Flow):
The cash that actually flows into the till from the core business during the quarter — harder to dress up than book profit.
FCF (Free Cash Flow):
Operating cash flow minus capital expenditures — the money that's genuinely free to use, say for paying down debt, buybacks, or dividends.
