Worthington Enterprises, Inc. (WOR) Latest News
25 Sep
Worthington Enterprises posted Q1 fiscal 2027 revenue of $343.9 million, up 13% year over year, with adjusted EBITDA up 10% to $74 million. The standout is its engineered ASME liquid-cooled data-center tanks, delivering $13 million in quarterly revenue—the same as all of fiscal 2026—and signaling a scalable growth path in a market analysts see potentially tenfold larger than the legacy tank segment. Free cash flow surged to a trailing 12-month record of $196 million, a 116% conversion rate against adjusted net earnings, funding $18 million in buybacks, a $9 million dividend, and continued capex and automation. Management attributes improved cash conversion, working capital discipline, and favorable pricing to the strength. Yet the legacy businesses face steel constraints and a refrigerant transition headwind, while the tank pipeline remains non-revenue; investors weigh a two-story growth thesis against cyclical exposure. Tank growth potential could meaningfully shift WOR's trajectory if the pipeline converts to revenue, adding material upside to cash flow and returns.

Worthington Enterprises, Inc. (WOR) Q1 2027: Consolidated sales rose 13% YoY to $344M (7% organic; acquisitions added $19M). Gross profit up ~11%, but gross margin slipped to 26.4% from 27.1% due to weaker Building Performance Solutions mix. Adjusted EBITDA rose 10% to $74M (margin 21.5%); trailing 12-month EBITDA $303M. GAAP EPS $0.87; adjusted EPS $0.82. Operating cash flow $67M; free cash flow $54M, up from a year ago; TTM FCF $196M (116% conversion). Capex $13M; share repurchases $18M; dividends $9M; JV dividends $36M (88% of equity income). Net debt $250M. Building Performance Solutions sales up 16% to $215M; Trade & Specialty Solutions up 8% to $129M; WAVE equity income $35M; ClarkDietrich $7M. Data Center ASME Tank revenue $13M in Q1, equal to the full prior year; IEEPA tariff refunds added about $4M pre-tax to adjusted earnings. Data center momentum remains a key growth driver, though steel availability and headwinds persist. Data center momentum and strong cash flow create a meaningful growth trajectory, though near-term margin headwinds and supply constraints cap upside.
Worthington Enterprises shares jumped after outlining strong AI-driven growth prospects and recent acquisitions. In fiscal Q1 2027 (quarter ended Aug. 31), net sales rose 13% year over year to $344 million, with acquisitions contributing six percentage points of growth and the LSI Group purchase completed in January. AI infrastructure demand is strongest in data-center applications, where Worthington’s ASME tanks for liquid cooling are expanding. Management projects the tanks market could grow more than 10x in coming years. Adjusted net earnings rose 3% to $40 million, with adjusted EPS up 5% to $0.82, topping estimates of $0.75. Free cash flow nearly doubled to $54 million, supporting further acquisitions, dividends, and share buybacks. CEO Joe Hayek highlighted growing free cash flow and a strong balance sheet enabling continued investment in growth opportunities. AI-driven data-center demand and acquisitions could materially change WOR's growth path and cash flow profile.
Worthington Enterprises posted a strong start to fiscal 2027: Q1 sales rose 13% year over year to $344 million, with 7% organic growth; adjusted EBITDA up 10% to $74 million; free cash flow of $54 million, nearly double a year earlier; adjusted EPS $0.82, up from $0.78. The company repurchased 335,000 shares. However, Building Performance Solutions faced headwinds from Cooling and Construction as A2L refrigerants and tight steel supply weighed on demand and production. Trade and Specialty Solutions grew, led by higher volumes and pricing; Water business benefited from 80/20 programs; WAVE and ClarkDietrich contributed equity income. Worthington reiterated its strategy around Worthington Business System, disciplined M&A, and organic growth (notably engineered ASME tanks for liquid cooling in data centers), with a pipeline that could significantly expand the data-center end-market. Net debt stood at $250 million; trailing 12-month adjusted EBITDA $303 million; investor day set for November 10 in New York. ASME data-center tank opportunity plus strong FCF and M&A pipeline could substantially boost growth, despite near-term headwinds from A2L transition and steel tightness.
Worthington Enterprises reported Q1 revenue of $343.9 million, up 13.2% year over year with 7% organic growth, and adj. EBITDA up 10%. Operating cash flow rose to $66.7 million, up $25.7 million, while free cash flow nearly doubled to $54 million. Demand for engineered ASME tanks used in data-center liquid cooling boosted activity, with CEO Joe Hayek noting rising interest in that market. The company also spent $18.2 million on buying back 335,000 shares and approved a quarterly dividend of $0.20 per share. The results point to stronger cash generation and shareholder returns supporting the stock, though GuruFocus notes five warning signs and a DCF valuation prompt. Improved revenue, cash generation, and shareholder returns imply notable near-term upside, though not a fundamental strategic overhaul.
Worthington Enterprises posted a strong Q1: sales up 13% to $344 million, adjusted EPS $0.82 and adjusted EBITDA $74 million (up 10%). Operating cash flow rose to $67 million and free cash flow nearly doubled to $54 million, with trailing FCF of $196 million. The company repurchased $18 million of stock, paid a $0.20 quarterly dividend and ended with $250 million in net debt. Data-center demand emerged as a major growth driver: ASME tanks for liquid-cooling generated about $13 million in the quarter, and management expects sequential growth through fiscal 2027 with potential for a much larger market over coming years. Management cited A2L refrigerant-transition headwinds, housing softness and tight steel supply as near-term drags, but said pricing actions and working-capital improvements supported cash flow. Worthington is expanding engineering capacity and pursuing acquisitions (Elgen, LSI Group) while extending its 80/20 operating discipline across segments. ASME data-center tank opportunity could become a multi-year, high-growth tailwind that may materially lift revenue and margins.
Worthington Industries' Q1 2027 results show organic growth in Water and Trade & Specialty Solutions, offset by a tougher year-ago comparison in Cooling and Construction. Building Performance Solutions faced demand headwinds after the A2L refrigerant mandate as inventories were right-sized, reducing cylinder demand post-transition. Production and scheduling disruptions from steel shortages and longer lead times affected Cooling, Construction, and Balloon units. 80/20 and Worthington Business System initiatives in Water improved resource allocation. The company is pivoting hydronic and pressure vessel expertise toward data-center liquid cooling and thermal management, with data-center ASME tank revenues in Q1 equal to last year’s total and a pipeline that typically converts 18–24 months after a project is green-lit. Margin expansion in Trade & Specialty from pricing discipline and automation; ongoing data-center capacity expansion and manufacturing. Tariff refunds added $0.06 per share; A2L transition headwinds around $7M EBITDA; cash conversion cycle improved, supporting capex and M&A. Data-center market expansion and cross-segment synergies could materially alter WOR's growth trajectory.
WORTHINGTON ENTERPRISES, INC. (WOR) reported a fiscal first-quarter update with higher sales, firmer EPS, and a new quarterly dividend. The stock jumped about 8.4% over a week, lifting the year-to-date return to roughly 13.4% while the one-year TSR is slightly negative; three- and five-year TSRs remain strong at about 45.9% and 87.3%. The shares trade roughly 11% below prevailing analyst fair value, with a consensus near $65.40 and targets spanning $47–$76. Valuation implies ~9.9% discount to fair value. Analysts anticipate about 4% annual revenue growth and roughly 8.7% annual earnings growth, aided by buybacks, margin gains, and efficiency projects. Risks include trade and tariff uncertainty and softer steel prices, which could temper upside despite product launches and automation plans. Moderate potential upside exists from earnings and margin improvements, but tariff and steel-price risks limit upside.

Worthington Enterprises reported Q1 earnings of $0.82 per share, beating the Zacks consensus of $0.74 (adjusted for non-recurring items) and up from $0.74 a year ago, a +10.81% surprise. Revenue reached $343.89 million, topping estimates by 3.55% and rising from $303.71 million a year earlier. Over the last four quarters the company beat estimates twice. Year-to-date WOR has gained about 12.8% versus the S&P 500's 13.4%. For the coming quarter, the consensus is $0.78 per share on $351.6 million in revenue; for the full year, $3.75 on $1.49 billion. The stock faces a Sell rating from Zacks due to unfavorable earnings estimate revisions, while the Building Products - Wood industry remains in the bottom 21% of its peers. Earnings beat and revenue rise are tempered by unfavorable revisions and a weak industry outlook, limiting upside.
Worthington Enterprises, Inc. (WOR) posted Q3 CY2026 revenue of $343.9 million, up 13.2% year over year and ahead of estimates of $330.2 million. Non-GAAP EPS was $0.82, beating consensus by 9.3%. Adjusted EBITDA was $74.02 million on a 21.5% margin, with operating margin at 3.8% and free cash flow margin rising to 15.7%. Management cited solid start to fiscal 2027 with 7% organic growth, about 10% higher EBITDA and nearly doubling free cash flow. Market cap is about $2.85 billion and the stock rose roughly 10% on the news. Segment mix is 62.5 percent Consumer Products and 37.5 percent Building Products, with Consumer Products showing strong growth; analysts expect 4.1% revenue growth over the next year, a deceleration from prior years. The report notes ongoing profitability improvements but no evident long term acceleration. Near-term sentiment improves on a solid beat and higher cash flow, but lack of growth acceleration limits long-term impact.
