What makes CVGI an interesting and upcoming stock?
CVGI has recognized that they need to adapt to the future by investing in higher return businesses. They have increased their focus on electronic vehicle manufacturing and warehouse automation, which results will benefit from the continued growth in ecommerce.
For Q2 2021, CVGI had record sales of $258 million. Warehouse automation increased 25% over the prior quarter. As a result of ecommerce deliveries, demand for trucks should grow and CVGI will likely gain more sales in this area in addition to warehouse automation. Also, with electric trucks now coming to the public, CVGI should look to make a jump since they specialize in truck manufacturing and are moving towards manufacturing electric vehicle components including electric trucks.
