Hawkins: A Wasted Opportunity Becomes An Opportunity

Summary Hawkins has seen its shares fall ~30% from recent highs, improving valuation after a prior momentum-driven surge. Hawkins now trades at a more reasonable ~23x realistic earnings, with leverage modest at 1.3x EBITDA and continued M&A-driven growth. Organic growth and margin expansion are lackluster, but the business remains well-positioned, especially outside water treatment. I am gradually more constructive on Hawkins, viewing current levels as an opportunity to start buying the dip and potentially add further. Read the full article on Seeking Alpha

Hawkins (HWKN) Stock Looks Expensive Despite Analyst Support And Strong Growth

Hawkins (HWKN) is back on investor radar after a recent uptick in institutional ownership, fresh buy-side analyst support, solid year over year growth in revenue and net profit, and broadly constructive technical signals. See our latest analysis for Hawkins. Against that backdrop, Hawkins’ 1 month share price return of 5.8% and 90 day gain of 22.1% suggest building momentum. The 1 year total shareholder return of 18.2% sits within a much stronger 5 year total shareholder return of over 4x. If...

Hawkins: Doing Fine, Still Too Expensive

Summary Hawkins, Inc. has seen impressive growth, doubling sales to nearly $1 billion since 2017, as shares have been awarded premium multiples in 2024. The company operates in three segments: industrial chemicals, water treatment, and health & nutrition, with water treatment now making up nearly 50% of sales. Despite a resilient performance and strategic acquisitions, shares still trade at demanding multiples; I see real appeal for HWKN shares only below the $100 mark. I remain cautious, seeking entry points around $90 or $80, as current valuations are too high despite the company's solid performance and growth potential. Read the full article on Seeking Alpha

Hawkins: Runaway Momentum For This Impressive Performer

Summary Hawkins, Inc. has doubled its business and expanded margins since 2017, with sales now approaching a billion. The company operates in three segments: industrial applications, water treatment, and health & nutrition. Recent share price momentum has been driven by valuation multiple inflation and resilient results, with shares trading up 75% since May. I admire Hawkins' long-term value creation, but a 25 times current earnings multiple amidst historically high margins makes me very cautious to get involved. Read the full article on Seeking Alpha
