Richardson Electronics: The Turnaround Is Real, The Cash Flow Is Not
Summary Richardson Electronics is upgraded to a soft Buy (B-) at ~$16.56, following a strong Q4 beat and confirmation of its turnaround.

BESS shipments mark a new growth leg, with a pipeline of 50+ opportunities and a multi-million-dollar order expected in fiscal Q1 2027. Valuation is now full at ~43x trailing earnings; risk/reward is balanced, but I am accumulating shares via direct purchase and selling puts to target a sub-$16 average cost.
