Refer to the full report for the price target, fundamental analysis, and rating.

Tank car retrofit order removed from backlog. FreightCar America removed 1,285 railcars associated with a tank car retrofit contract from its backlog after determining that the customer was unlikely to fulfill its contractual obligations. The order included deliveries scheduled for the second half of 2026 and throughout 2027. Management emphasized that the cancellation is specific to one customer and does not affect other orders. Following the adjustment, the September 30, 2026, backlog totaled 2,660 railcars valued at $284.5 million.

Preliminary Q3 2026 results reflect lower production volumes. FreightCar America expects third-quarter revenue of $75 million to $77 million, down approximately 53% from $160.5 million in the prior-year period. Railcar deliveries declined 49% to 662 units, while adjusted EBITDA is expected to be approximately breakeven, compared with $17.0 million a year earlier. We now forecast revenue of $76.1 million, adjusted EBITDA of $0.0 million, and a loss of $(0.13) per share.

Euroseas (ESEA) – Strong Charter Rates and Attractive Vessel Sale


Tuesday, October 20, 2026

Mark Reichman, Managing Director, Equity Research Analyst, Natural Resources, Noble Capital Markets, Inc.

Refer to the full report for the price target, fundamental analysis, and rating.

New charter at an attractive rate. Euroseas announced a new time charter for its 2001-built, 2,556 twenty-foot equivalent unit (TEU) feeder containership, M/V EM Corfu, at a gross daily rate of $62,500 for a minimum period of 12 to a maximum period of 14 months. The charter, expected to commence in mid-December following a scheduled dry-dock, represents a significant increase from the previous rate of $28,000 per day. The new charter is expected to generate approximately $17.8 million in EBITDA over the minimum 12-month period. The agreement increases charter coverage to approximately 100% for 2026, 91% for 2027, and 49% for 2028.

Monetizing an older vessel. Euroseas also agreed to sell the M/V Evridiki G, a 2001-built sister vessel of the EM Corfu, for approximately $26 million. The transaction is expected to generate a gain of $22.5 million, or $3.19 per share. We view the sale favorably given the vessel’s age and the opportunity to realize an attractive price while reducing the fleet’s exposure to older tonnage.

NN (NNBR) – A Deeper Look Into the Implications of the PIPE Transaction


Tuesday, October 06, 2026

Joe Gomes, CFA, Managing Director, Equity Research Analyst, Generalist , Noble Capital Markets, Inc.

Refer to the full report for the price target, fundamental analysis, and rating.

Transaction. As noted, NN is eliminating its outstanding Preferred stock, which will eliminate the associated dividends that cost the Company approximately $19 million in 2025. NN issued 11.3 million shares in the PIPE transaction and an additional 4.8 million pre-funded warrants. Eliminating the dividends and increasing the share count would lower our 4Q26 estimated loss per share to $0.03 from a prior $0.06. The elimination of $122.1 million of outstanding preferred stock as of June 30th significantly improves NN’s capital structure.

Term Loan. At the end of June, NN had $133.5 million outstanding under its term loan facility at a 13.5% interest rate. We believe the elimination of the preferred, along with solid operating performance, gives management the opportunity to refi the term debt at a lower rate. For illustrative purposes, reducing the interest rate to 10% from 13.5% would save the Company $4.6 million in annual interest costs, or about $0.04/sh, based on 100 million shares outstanding.

After federal and state taxes and transaction fees and expenses, GEO anticipates receiving approximately $705 million in net proceeds from these sales.

GEO expects to continue providing support services under the Company’s existing contract with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (“ICE”) for Adelanto East, Adelanto West, and Desert View, which has a full term effective through December 19, 2034, inclusive of the current term ending December 19, 2029 and a five-year option period.

At this time, there is no definitive agreement in place nor a precise timeline for the closing of any additional transactions, and GEO can provide no assurance that any additional transactions will occur.

George C. Zoley, GEO’s Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and Founder, said, “We are pleased with the completion of these important asset sales to the U.S. federal government, and we look forward to continuing to provide high-quality secure support services under our existing long-term contracts with ICE. We are proud of our 40-year public-private partnership with ICE, and we stand ready to continue to assist the federal government in meeting its immigration enforcement priorities. We remain focused on allocating capital to enhance long-term value for shareholders, including through share repurchases.”

Repurchases of GEO’s outstanding common stock will be made in accordance with applicable securities laws and may be made at our senior management’s discretion from time to time in the open market, by block purchase, through privately negotiated transactions, pursuant to a trading plan, or otherwise in compliance with Rule 10b-18 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The authorization for the share repurchase program may be extended, increased, decreased, suspended or terminated by our Board of Directors in its discretion at any time. Repurchases of the Company’s common stock (and the timing thereof) will depend upon market conditions, regulatory requirements, the Company’s existing obligations, including its Credit Agreement, other corporate liquidity requirements and priorities and other factors as may be considered in the Company’s sole discretion.

Refer to the full report for the price target, fundamental analysis, and rating.

A Sale. Titan International entered into an agreement to sell its Italtractor ITM undercarriage business. The sale is expected to generate cash value of approximately $285 million, which includes a $207 million initial purchase price, $6 million of potential earnout proceeds, $23 million of customary adjustments based on ITM’s net assets and financial position at closing, and $49 million of dividends, consisting of $38 million received in recent years and $11 million expected prior to closing. The deal is expected to close in early January.

Focus. We expect Titan to use the proceeds to sharpen its focus on the core global wheel and tire operations serving the agriculture, construction, and consumer markets. Investments are expected to be focused on the Company’s highest growth opportunities and may include the purchase of adjacent businesses. A portion of the proceeds may be used to reduce outstanding net debt, which totaled $413 million as of June 30th.

Deere Call. We reviewed Deere’s (NYSE:DE) 3Q26 results and conference call. Selling into Titan’s key end markets of Agriculture, Construction, and Consumer, Deere’s forward commentary can give a solid overview of Titan’s end markets and potential for improvement. Based on Deere’s comments, 2027 should show improvement across the board for Titan.

Construction. Order books for 2026 are largely full as demand fundamentals remain favorable across both the earthmoving and road building end markets. Large-scale infrastructure projects, data center construction, and pipeline activity continue to support robust customer demand. As a result, customer backlogs now extend well into fiscal year 2027, providing healthy visibility and optimism for next year.
