Investment Highlights Why It Matters Which of these 2 stories sounds closer for this stock?

1. Generates cash flow

The stock generated 4% or more of the share price (called cash flow yield), and shows moderate 10-15% or more growth.

2. Riding a trend

Think Tesla during the pandemic of 2020 when EVs were riding a cultural high, or Nvidia in the current AI boom, or even Figma. These companies don’t have enough yield, or, enough growth, or both - however - they are riding a trend. They have momentum. These can be more volatile - they don’t have the floor of strong cash flow

Why The Stock Moved


Qualitative Assessment

AI Generated Analysis | Feedback

1. Missed Q3 2025 Revenue and EPS Estimates

NN (NNBR) missed Wall Street's revenue expectations in the third quarter of fiscal year 2025, with sales falling 8.5% year-on-year to $103.9 million. The company's non-GAAP loss of $0.01 per share was also $0.03 below analysts' consensus estimates.

2. Significant Annual Stock Decline

The company's stock has experienced a substantial decline over the past year, with reported decreases ranging from approximately -66% to -70% as of late November 2025. This broad underperformance against both the US Machinery industry and the broader US Market indicates persistent underlying challenges.

3. Negative Revenue Growth and Declining Profitability

NN's revenue growth for the last year declined by 9.8%, and overall revenue from three years ago fell by 14%. The company also reported a negative 2.2% operating margin in Q3 2025 and a 4.3 percentage point decrease in its operating margin over the last five years, highlighting struggles with its fixed cost base and choppy demand.

4. Market Concerns Regarding Future Growth Prospects

The market is expressing concerns about the company's prospects for strong revenue growth, which is reflected in its low price-to-sales (P/S) ratio of 0.2x. This suggests that investors may be questioning analyst growth estimates and potentially anticipating underperformance.

5. Institutional Investor Pressure from Losses

Institutional investors, who hold a significant 45% stake in NN, Inc., have experienced considerable losses, including an 11% decline in the stock price during one week in October 2025. Continued stock price declines could pressure these large investors to sell, potentially exacerbating downward movement.
