What Is The Market Telling Us
NN’s shares are extremely volatile and have had 49 moves greater than 5% over the last year. In that context, today’s move indicates the market considers this news meaningful but not something that would fundamentally change its perception of the business.
The biggest move we wrote about over the last year was 3 months ago when the stock gained 29.2% on the news that the company raised its full-year guidance for new business wins and announced that preliminary first-quarter net sales were expected to show growth.
This update followed the securing of approximately $43 million in new business awards during the first quarter, primarily from the electric grid and data center markets. Based on this strong performance, NN lifted its 2026 new business wins guidance to a range of $80 million to $90 million. While the company maintained its full-year net sales guidance of $445 million to $465 million, it noted that it now expected results to fall in the upper half of that range.
NN is up 198% since the beginning of the year, and at $3.99 per share, it has set a new 52-week high. Despite the year-to-date gain, investors who bought $1,000 worth of NN’s shares 5 years ago would now be looking at only $537.69.
