CECO Environmental (CECO, Financial) experienced a significant stock movement today with its price increasing by 17.45% to $22.55. This surge follows the company's remarkable first-quarter 2025 results, where both revenue and adjusted EPS exceeded Wall Street's expectations.

CECO Environmental (CECO, Financial) reported a 40% increase in sales due to record-breaking orders, with its backlog rising by 55%. The company has maintained its optimistic full-year guidance, anticipating a 30% growth in revenue and a 50% increase in adjusted EBITDA.

Analyzing the company's stock data, CECO's current market capitalization stands at approximately $794.15 million, and it has a price-to-earnings (PE) ratio of 64.43. The stock is traded on the NASDAQ under the ticker CECO and is priced in USD. Despite its recent gains, the stock is still trading close to its 1-year low, making it an attractive option for investors looking for potential upside.

CECO's GF Value is estimated at $19.92, categorizing the stock as "Modestly Overvalued" when you consider the GF Value. Interested investors can check the detailed GF Value analysis and other valuation metrics on the GF Value page.

While the company shows promise with its expanding operating margins and insider buying activity, investors should also be cautious of the financial warning signs. CECO has medium financial strength concerns, as indicated by its Altman Z-Score of 1.82, which lies in the "grey area" of potential financial stress. Additionally, revenue growth has slowed down over the past 12 months.

CECO Environmental's outlook remains optimistic, driven by its robust backlog and commitment to growth. However, investors should weigh both the promising growth prospects and existing financial challenges when considering an investment in CECO.
