HOUSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--New research from Corebridge Financial reveals a retirement paradox: Even though fulfilling retirement dreams will likely require spending, many struggle with the thought of drawing down retirement savings to fund them. However, those with a decumulation plan have a much more positive outlook about retirement spending.
Only 28% of respondents are comfortable with the idea of their retirement savings declining to cover living expenses in retirement, and 70% say it is very important their nest egg does not shrink in retirement. Half associate retirement spending with “uncertainty” and 44% with “anxiety.”
A planning gap between the accumulation and decumulation phases of retirement may help explain this unease:
Just 14% of retirees say they have a detailed strategy to manage their Required Minimum Distributions. Only 29% of pre-retirees age 55 or older have a plan for retirement account withdrawals. “Retirement is meant to be enjoyed, but many find it difficult to give themselves permission to spend the savings they’ve worked so hard to build,” said Terri Fiedler, President of Retirement Services at Corebridge Financial. “Concerns about running out of money often shape spending habits that limit fulfillment later in life. Having a thoughtful decumulation strategy can help individuals manage complex financial decisions and feel more secure about the future.”
Fear of outliving savings may drive spending anxiety
When asked to choose, far more say they’d regret running out of money while still alive (56%) than dying with money left over (6%). Feeling financially secure is the top retirement goal for pre-retirees (85%) and retirees (82%).
This protectionist mindset may be leading to cautious spending behaviors: 38% of retirees say they have spent less than they wanted in order to maintain the size of their nest egg.
Surprisingly, retirees’ hesitation to spend is rarely driven by a desire to leave an inheritance: 83% do not have a specific inheritance goal and instead plan to leave behind whatever money is left over.
Planning and confidence are key to spending satisfaction
While many are uncomfortable drawing down savings in retirement, those who plan are more confident. Nearly 3 in 5 pre-retirees (57%) aged 55 or older who have a decumulation plan are highly confident they can manage spending throughout retirement, compared to 26% without a plan.
Similarly, 55% of retirees with a spending plan are highly confident, compared to only 29% without a plan.
Those who are highly confident they can manage their retirement spending are five times more likely to say spending in retirement is “empowering” (16% vs. 3%) and three times more likely to find it “rewarding” (20% vs. 6%) compared to those who lack confidence.
With 60% of respondents expecting to spend at least 20 years in retirement, and 45% expecting to live to age 90 or older, having the flexibility to confidently spend can enrich a long retirement. More than 6 in 10 associate retirement with “freedom” and “enjoyment.” Separate Corebridge research, “Living and Funding Longer Lives,” found that nearly 2 in 3 people see having more time to explore and experience new things as a benefit of living a very long life1—suggesting many hope to enjoy a retirement full of activities, which can often come with a price tag.
The most common approach to managing investments and spending in retirement cited by pre-retirees and retirees is using a consistent withdrawal percentage (e.g., the 4% rule).
“With fewer pensions, Social Security uncertainty and people living longer, it’s time to rethink how retirees transition from saving to spending,” continued Fiedler. “Previous strategies and rules of thumb may not cut it anymore. The new paradigm calls for a greater focus on guaranteed lifetime income.”
Enriching retirement with guaranteed income
Nearly 3 in 4 people believe having guaranteed lifetime income beyond Social Security, offered through solutions like annuities, would positively impact their ability to spend on things that make them happy.1
In fact, more respondents (47%) would prefer $60,000 per year guaranteed for life instead of a $1 million lump sum at age 65 (41%). And retirees say guaranteed lifetime income would enable them to spend more on personal fulfillment, including travel (69%), home improvements (29%) and dining out (25%).
Interest in guaranteed lifetime income from an annuity is strong with younger Gen Xers, who are most worried about their savings not lasting for life. Half of respondents ages 45–55 who are familiar with annuities said an annuity providing guaranteed lifetime income in retirement would be highly valuable.
This research is part of a wider campaign in collaboration with best-selling author and founder of HerMoney Jean Chatzky, to help people maximize their retirement security and enjoyment.
“For decades, retirement conversations have been focused on a singular financial challenge: Saving enough. It's a message Gen X, the first without pensions, took to heart and later generations followed,” said Chatzky. “But what's become evident as these folks start retiring is that without a plan of how to actually use that money, they face a retirement of uncertainty. Questions about how much you can spend, how well you can live, how much you can enjoy yourself and how long that money will last inevitably arise. Turning some of those hard-earned savings into a stream of income that lasts as long as you do can be a route to a more grounded, happier retirement all around.”

Baker Hughes is set to transform materially with the imminent acquisition of Chart Industries. The combined entity will benefit from post-Iranian crisis repair demand and elevated commodity prices. Strategic focus will be on integrating Chart's decentralized factory model and leveraging a unified sales effort to drive quality control and rapid growth.
The energy sector has significantly outperformed the broader stock market this year. It's up about 32% year to date, while the S&P 500 index has climbed about 4.2%. Energy is also the best-performing sector this year.
But over the past week or so, one energy stock has beaten them all. I'm talking about Baker Hughes (BKR +0.24%), the oil and gas equipment and services company based in Houston. The stock soared 10% over the past five trading days, beating the broader energy sector, which rose about 4.4% as measured by the State Street Energy Select Sector SPDR ETF, which tracks the S&P 500 energy sector.

The primary reason Baker Hughes shares have skyrocketed is the company's unexpectedly good first-quarter results. Last week, it reported those results, beating Wall Street expectations for both revenue and profits.
Revenue of $6.6 billion during the quarter was better than the $6.34 consensus analyst estimate. And adjusted earnings of $0.58 a share handily beat the consensus estimate of $0.49.

The company reported record order volume in the first quarter and expanded margins. Both were driven in part by a surge in electricity demand from data centers and increased investment in liquefied natural gas infrastructure and grid equipment.
Management did say, however, that the ongoing conflict in the Middle East is disrupting business, with a 19% decrease in revenue from the Middle East/Asia region.
Still, with oil prices expected to remain elevated through the remainder of 2026, no matter when or how the war is resolved, the stocks of oilfield services companies like Baker Hughes remain attractive.

For the last two years, investors were trained to chase anything tied to artificial intelligence. Semiconductor stocks. Cloud stocks. Power-grid plays. If it touched a data center, Wall Street wanted in.
Then 2026 happened.
Suddenly, the market’s leadership changed. The flashy growth names cooled off while one of the market’s oldest industries started printing gains again: energy.
The surprise isn’t just that energy stocks are outperforming. It’s how decisively they’re doing it. The S&P 500 Energy sector has become one of the market’s best-performing groups this year as oil prices climbed, geopolitical tensions tightened supply expectations, and investors rotated toward companies generating real cash flow today — not promises five years from now.
And now investors are asking the obvious question: Could President Donald Trump’s policy agenda push the rally even further?
Refiners Are Leading the Charge The biggest winners inside the energy trade have not been the oil majors. Surprisingly, refiners and energy service companies have stolen the spotlight.
Here’s how three of the sector’s top performers stack up so far in 2026:
Company YTD Return Dividend Yield Forward P/E Marathon Petroleum (NYSE:MPC | MPC Price Prediction) 52.3% 1.6% ~13 Valero Energy (NYSE:VLO) 51.5% 1.9% ~13 Baker Hughes (NYSE:BKR) 51.4% 1.3% ~24 That says investors are suddenly willing to pay more for businesses tied to energy production, fuel demand, and drilling infrastructure.
Let’s start with Marathon Petroleum. The refiner is benefiting from stronger refining margins as gasoline and diesel spreads widened during the first quarter. Marathon also continued aggressively returning capital to shareholders. It repurchased billions in stock over the past year while maintaining one of the strongest balance sheets in the refining industry.
Valero followed a similar path. Refiners tend to thrive when crude supply disruptions create volatility because fuel prices often rise faster than input costs. In short, chaos can actually help margins — at least temporarily.
Then there’s Baker Hughes, which gives investors a different angle on the trade. Instead of refining fuel, Baker Hughes sells the equipment, services, and technology energy producers need to drill, transport, and process oil and natural gas. As exploration budgets expanded globally, Baker Hughes captured higher orders across its LNG and oilfield services segments.
Why Trump Could Add More Fuel to the Rally Markets do not move on politics alone. Earnings still matter. Cash flow still matters. But policy absolutely shapes industries — and energy investors know it.
Trump has consistently pushed for expanded domestic energy production, faster permitting approvals, reduced environmental restrictions, and increased LNG exports. Whether investors agree politically is almost beside the point. Markets care about what policies could mean for profits.
More drilling activity generally benefits companies like Baker Hughes. More pipeline approvals can improve transport economics. Expanded refining demand can support companies like Marathon and Valero.
According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, U.S. crude production already reached record levels above 13 million barrels per day entering 2026. Additional deregulation could keep that trend moving higher.
Granted, there are risks. Oil remains cyclical. A recession could reduce fuel demand quickly. OPEC production changes could pressure prices — the UAE just quit OPEC+, which could introduce significant price volatility. And if inflation stays sticky, the Federal Reserve may keep interest rates elevated longer than investors expect.
That said, energy stocks look far different than they did during previous commodity booms.
Many companies spent the last several years reducing debt, cutting unnecessary expansion spending, and focusing on shareholder returns instead of reckless production growth. That discipline matters.
The AI bubble just met its match. Investors are ditching speculative tech promises for the massive cash flow of the energy sector’s new era. This Rally Looks Different From Past Energy Booms Back in the shale boom years, many energy companies chased production growth at any cost. Investors got rising oil output but weak returns.
Today’s market looks more restrained.
For example:
Marathon Petroleum generated $8.3 billion in free cash flow in 2025 while reducing share count. Valero had refining utilization rates between 97% and 98% of capacity last year.. Baker Hughes’ Industrial & Energy Technology expanded margins to its 20% target while growing internationally in LNG infrastructure. Regardless, this is not simply a speculative oil spike trade anymore. Investors are rewarding profitability, balance-sheet strength, and capital returns.
And compared to many technology stocks still trading above 25 or 30 times forward earnings, several energy leaders remain valued near 11 to 17 times earnings. That valuation gap matters.
Key Takeaway In any case, 2026 has reminded investors that market leadership changes faster than most people expect. Energy stocks entered the year rising a moderate 7.9%. Now they’re leading the S&P 500.
Could the rally continue? Yes — especially if Trump’s energy policies accelerate domestic production and infrastructure investment. But smart investors should also recognize this remains a cyclical industry tied closely to oil prices and global demand.
Still, companies like Marathon Petroleum, Valero, and Baker Hughes are giving investors something Wall Street increasingly values in this market: strong cash flow, shareholder returns, and businesses built around real-world demand instead of hype alone.

CompaniesNEW YORK, May 8 (Reuters) - U.S. energy firms this week added oil and natural gas rigs for a third week in a row, the first three-week streak of increases since early February, energy services firm Baker Hughes (BKR.O), opens new tab said in its closely followed report on Friday.
The oil and gas rig count, an early indicator of future output, rose by one to 548 in the week to May 8, its highest since early April. , ,

Despite this week's rig increase, Baker Hughes said the total count was still down 30 rigs, or 5% below this time last year.
Baker Hughes said oil rigs rose by two to 410 this week, their highest since mid-April, while gas rigs fell by one to 129, their lowest since late April, and other miscellaneous rigs held steady at nine.
The oil and gas rig count declined by 7% in 2025, 5% in 2024, and 20% in 2023 as lower U.S. oil prices prompted energy firms to focus more on boosting shareholder returns and paying down debt rather than increasing output.
Even though U.S. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) spot crude prices were expected to rise in 2026 due to the Iran war after declining in 2023, 2024, and 2025, the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) projected crude output would slide from a record 13.6 million barrels per day (bpd) in 2025 to 13.5 million bpd in 2026.
On the gas side, EIA projected output would rise from a record 107.7 billion cubic feet per day (bcfd) in 2025 to 109.6 bcfd in 2026, with spot prices at the U.S. Henry Hub benchmark in Louisiana forecast to climb by about 4% in 2026.

SLB’s Tough Quarter Masks a Powerful Long-Term ShiftBaker Hughes NASDAQ: BKR Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Lorenzo Simonelli said the company has become “very different” from the traditional oilfield services business it was a decade ago, emphasizing a broader strategy focused on industrial energy solutions, natural gas, power generation and lower-emissions technologies.
Speaking at Bernstein’s 42nd Annual Strategic Decisions Conference in a fireside chat with Bob Brackett, co-head of Energy and Transition and Global Metals and Mining at Bernstein, Simonelli said Baker Hughes has spent recent years reshaping its portfolio and reducing exposure to the volatility of upstream oil and gas cycles.

3 ETFs to Benefit From Oil Price Surge Without Direct InvestmentSimonelli said the company’s 2022 strategic plan was built around a “three-horizon” framework. He described the first phase, from 2022 to 2025, as focused on improving profitability, streamlining processes and cleaning up the portfolio. By the end of that period, he said Baker Hughes had increased margins by more than 300 basis points and nearly doubled EBITDA.
The company has now moved into what Simonelli called “Horizon Two,” centered on expanding Baker Hughes as an “industrialized energy solutions company.” He said the strategy includes not only oil and gas extraction and production, but also technologies tied to nitrogen, oxygen, liquefied natural gas, geothermal energy, carbon capture, utilization and storage, and other industrial applications.
Portfolio Shift Away From Traditional Oilfield Services 3 Targeted Oil Plays as the Iran Crisis Lifts CrudeSimonelli said Baker Hughes still has an Oilfield Services & Equipment segment, but he argued that it differs from traditional peers because it is 75% international, 50% offshore and more focused on production-related activities such as chemicals and artificial lift. Those businesses are tied more closely to ongoing operating expenditures than to cyclical upstream capital spending, he said.
The other major segment, Industrial & Energy Technology, includes turbines, pumps, valves, compressors, condition monitoring and digital applications. Simonelli said the segment is used in power generation, LNG, geothermal, carbon capture, hydrogen, midstream and downstream markets, as well as off-grid data center power applications.
“Baker Hughes today is not your typical Oilfield Services & Equipment company,” Simonelli said, adding that the July announcement of the Chart Industries acquisition further moves the company into industrial markets and lowers exposure to oil and gas volatility.
When asked what Baker Hughes will not do strategically, Simonelli said the company does not intend to become an exploration and production company, compete with its customers, operate assets or move into areas such as wind turbines, solar panels or nuclear reactors. He said Baker Hughes will remain focused on areas where it has technical relevance, particularly in extracting, moving and monetizing molecules for customers.
Strait of Hormuz Risks and Energy Security Simonelli also addressed geopolitical risks around the Strait of Hormuz, saying Baker Hughes has “considerable employees” in the region and that employee safety and business continuity are the company’s priorities. He said activity is ongoing and that the company is working with customers to maintain operations.
He said a prolonged closure of the Strait of Hormuz would burden the global economy by constraining oil barrels and affecting downstream products, including fertilizers and helium. “I can just hope, like everybody, that the Straits of Hormuz open quickly,” Simonelli said.
Looking beyond the immediate disruption, Simonelli said the aftermath is likely to lead to increased investment in upstream production and energy infrastructure. He pointed to activity in Libya, Nigeria, other parts of Africa and Alaska, and said he does not believe the U.S. oil market is “finished” because technology continues to advance.
He also said energy security will drive investment in pipelines, including Middle East infrastructure that could bypass the Strait of Hormuz, and in additional LNG plants located across a broader set of geographies.
LNG and Data Centers Drive Industrial Technology Demand Simonelli reiterated Baker Hughes’ positive view on LNG, calling natural gas and LNG “clear winners” in providing energy security. He said Baker Hughes continues to expect the world will need 800 million tons per annum of installed LNG capacity by 2030 and 950 million tons by 2035.
He said LNG development is becoming more geographically diversified, citing Argentina, Algeria, the U.S. Gulf Coast and Mozambique as areas with potential or ongoing activity. He also said QatarEnergy continues to move forward with expansion plans, though he noted that supply chains can be constrained when facilities require immediate repairs.
In the Industrial & Energy Technology segment, Simonelli said LNG represented less than 15% of order intake in 2025 and the first quarter, meaning 85% of the segment’s orders came from outside LNG. He said power generation and data centers are becoming increasingly important. In the first quarter, Baker Hughes booked $1.4 billion in power systems orders, including $1 billion tied to data centers, he said. In 2025, the company booked $1 billion in data center orders.
Baker Hughes had previously set a target of $3 billion in data center orders between 2025 and 2027, but Simonelli said the company plans to revise that target upward because intake has been significant.
Simonelli said Baker Hughes’ turbines and generators fit a “sweet spot” for off-grid immediate power in the 150-megawatt to 300-megawatt range, including the NovaLT16, Frame 5 and BRUSH generator. He said the demand for data center power is not a one-year event, but a multi-year opportunity as grid infrastructure and alternative power solutions take time to develop.
New Energy, Services and Chart Acquisition Simonelli said Baker Hughes’ new energy offerings include carbon capture, geothermal, emissions management, de-flaring, hydrogen and clean integrated power solutions. He said the company generated more than $2 billion in new energy revenue last year and expects $2.4 billion to $2.6 billion this year, compared with an initial base of only a few hundred million in 2022.
He also emphasized the importance of the service and aftermarket business tied to installed equipment. Baker Hughes has more than 9,000 installed units that require maintenance and servicing over 20- to 30-year lifespans, he said. Simonelli described the model as part of the company’s effort to shift from volatility toward predictability and consistency.
On the pending all-cash acquisition of Chart Industries, Simonelli said Chart’s cryogenics and cold-box capabilities are complementary to Baker Hughes’ existing portfolio and support its strategy of linking energy sources to industrial outcomes. He acknowledged that the transaction will increase debt-to-EBITDA at the outset, but said Baker Hughes intends to bring leverage down while protecting dividends and capital investment.
Simonelli said Baker Hughes has continued to evaluate its portfolio and pointed to the planned disposition of Waygate Technologies as part of its effort to maintain a strong balance sheet.
Asked for the value proposition of owning Baker Hughes stock, Simonelli said the company is positioned for a “decade-long growth trajectory” tied to rising energy demand, data centers, infrastructure, power generation, carbon capture and continued oil and gas production. He said Baker Hughes is targeting a 20% EBITDA margin profile by 2028 as a combined company with Chart.

If you put $10,000 into the VanEck Oil Services ETF (NYSEARCA:OIH) at the closing bell on December 31, 2025, you were sitting on roughly $15,100 five months later. The fund opened the year at $285 and closed June 2 at $430, a 51% year-to-date gain. Over the same window, the SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust (NYSEARCA:SPY) returned 11%. The headline number on the cover of this piece (47%) is already stale on the upside. Oil services have been the trade of 2026 so far, and the gap is not subtle.
Before getting to why, one piece of texture worth keeping in mind. OIH has given back a little of that gain. The fund is down 3% over the past week and 3% over the past month, tracking a sharp pullback in crude. WTI fell 12.9% in the week ending May 26 to $98 per barrel. That softness matters for the forward look. It does not erase the YTD story.
What Actually Did the Work OIH is a concentrated bet on the picks-and-shovels side of the energy patch, and three names carry most of the weight. Schlumberger (NYSE:SLB | SLB Price Prediction) is up 48% YTD, Halliburton (NYSE:HAL) is up 43%, and Baker Hughes (NASDAQ:BKR) is up 43%. When the top three constituents of a sector ETF all rip more than 40% in five months, the ETF will follow.
The catalyst is not subtle either. The Strait of Hormuz, which moved nearly 20% of global oil supply before military action that began February 28, has been effectively closed to shipping traffic since. Brent spiked to $138/b on April 7 and averaged $117/b for the month, the highest monthly print since June 2022. The EIA now estimates global oil inventories will fall by 8.5 million barrels per day in Q2 2026. When inventories drain that fast, upstream operators do two things at once. They squeeze every existing well harder, and they bid for the equipment and services that bring future barrels online. That bid lands directly in OIH.
The earnings season confirmed the through-line. SLB reported Q1 2026 revenue of $8.72 billion and committed to returning more than $4 billion to shareholders in 2026, even as CEO Olivier Le Peuch acknowledged “widespread disruptions in the Middle East impacted our business”. Halliburton beat EPS by 11% with net income jumping to $461 million from $204 million a year earlier, and CEO Jeff Miller told the call “In North America, I see clear signs that we are in the early innings of a recovery.”
Baker Hughes is the cleanest version of the structural story. The company exited fiscal 2025 with a record Industrial & Energy Technology backlog of $32.4 billion, including roughly 7 GW of power systems orders tied to data center infrastructure. That last number is the AI capex burst showing up inside an oil services ETF, and it is why BKR’s IET segment hit its 20% EBITDA margin target while the oilfield segment shrank 8% year over year. The OIH rally combines several stories: a geopolitical risk premium stacked on top of an LNG infrastructure buildout stacked on top of data center power demand stacked on top of a tentative North American drilling recovery.
What Has to Hold for the Trade to Keep Working This is where honesty matters. The single biggest driver of the YTD move (oil at $100+) is the piece of the thesis most likely to fade. The EIA’s May Short-Term Energy Outlook projects Brent at $106/b in May and June, $89/b in Q4 2026, and $79/b in 2027. That is the agency’s base case for a world where the Strait of Hormuz traffic gradually resumes and shut-in production returns later this year. A reader holding OIH today is, whether they realize it or not, betting either that the resumption takes longer than the EIA assumes or that the structural pieces are large enough to carry the fund when the war premium bleeds out.
The structural pieces are real. SLB now does $141 million per quarter in Data Center Solutions revenue, up 45% year over year, with digital annualized recurring revenue above $1 billion. Baker Hughes has booked LNG equipment awards across NextDecade Rio Grande LNG Train 5, Commonwealth LNG, and Alaska LNG, and management is guiding to similar organic IET order levels in 2026. Halliburton flagged North America activity bottoming. SLB expects broad-based upstream recovery in 2027 and 2028. None of those depend on oil staying north of $100.
What to watch from here, in order of importance. First, Strait of Hormuz traffic data and any indication that shut-in barrels in Iraq and Qatar are coming back online. Second, the WTI tape against the EIA’s glide path. WTI sitting at $98 is already in the 86th percentile of its 12-month range, so the asymmetry on price from here favors the downside. Third, the IET orders line at Baker Hughes when it reports next, because that is the cleanest read on whether AI power demand is still pulling forward. Fourth, North American rig count and stimulation activity, the leading indicator on whether Miller’s “early innings” line holds.
A reasonable read on OIH today is that the easy money has been made, the war premium that drove ~half the move is forecast to fade, and what remains is a more interesting but lower-octane structural story about LNG, data center power, and a North American recovery that has not actually arrived yet. The headline number was real. The conditions that produced it are partly mean-reverting by design. If you came late looking for another 50%, the math now requires Brent to stay stuck above the EIA’s path, and that is a thinner thesis than the one that delivered the chart.
CompaniesNEW YORK, June 5 (Reuters) - U.S. energy firms this week added rigs for a seventh week in a row for the first time since May 2022, energy services firm Baker Hughes (BKR.O), opens new tab said in its closely followed report on Friday.
The oil and natural gas rig count, an early indicator of future output, rose by one to 563 in the week to June 5, its highest since May 2025. , ,
The Reuters Power Up newsletter provides everything you need to know about the global energy industry. Sign up here.
With this week's rig increase, Baker Hughes said the total count was up four rigs, or 1% above this time last year.
Baker Hughes said oil rigs rose by two to 431 this week, the highest since June 2025, while gas rigs fell by one to 124, the lowest since January 2026. Other miscellaneous rigs held at eight.
The oil and gas rig count declined by 7% in 2025, 5% in 2024, and 20% in 2023 as lower U.S. oil prices prompted energy firms to focus more on boosting shareholder returns and paying down debt rather than increasing output.
Now, spot U.S. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude prices are expected to rise in 2026 due to the Iran War after declining in 2023, 2024, and 2025. The U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) projected crude output would rise from a record 13.6 million barrels per day (bpd) in 2025 to 13.7 million bpd in 2026.
On the gas side, EIA projected output would rise from a record 107.7 billion cubic feet per day (bcfd) in 2025 to 110.6 bcfd in 2026, even though spot prices at the U.S. Henry Hub benchmark in Louisiana were expected to ease by about 1% in 2026.

The company leverages an integrated approach to design, manufacturing, and installation, enabling it to address complex customer needs across multiple end markets. Scale, product breadth, and technical expertise provide Gibraltar Industries with a competitive advantage in serving both established and emerging segments of the construction industry.
What this transaction means for investorsGibraltar Industries’ stock has struggled in recent years. The stock price is down about 18% year-to-date and 34% over the past 12 months. It also has negative returns over the past three- and five-year periods on an annualized basis.
The decline has lowered the value of the stock significantly, as it is trading at about 12 times earnings and 9 times forward earnings, with a five-year price/earnings-to-growth (PEG) ratio of just 0.60.
The question is — is it a good value with catalysts to improve its fortunes?
The company reported solid Q4 and year-end sales results, with revenue up 16% in the fourth quarter and 11% for the year. But it missed on earnings, mainly due to costs associated with its $1.3 billion acquisition of Omnimax International earlier this year and gain on the sale of one of its businesses in the same quarter a year ago.
The Omnimax acquisition could potentially be transformative, but much depends on debt reduction, integration, and the housing market, among other factors. However, the three analysts that cover the stock all rate it a buy and have set a median price target of $65 per share, which would represent 60% upside. So, Wall Street is bullish on the stock.

On May 11, 2026, First Wilshire Securities Management disclosed a significant purchase of Gibraltar Industries (ROCK +2.97%) shares, with an estimated trade value of $17.93 million based on quarterly average pricing.
What happenedAccording to a recent SEC filing dated May 11, 2026, First Wilshire Securities Management increased its holding in Gibraltar Industries by 370,985 shares during the first quarter. The estimated value of this trade is $17.93 million based on the average closing price for the quarter. The quarter-end value of the position rose by $13.56 million, a figure that includes both the share addition and any stock price changes during the period.

The company leverages its engineering and manufacturing capabilities to deliver integrated solutions for complex customer needs in both established and emerging markets.
What this transaction means for investorsGibraltar’s stock has been crushed over the past year as investors mulled a few key concerns, including slowing residential demand, integration risks tied to the OmniMax acquisition, and margin pressure from rising commodity costs. But this move signals that First Wilshire appears to believe the selloff has gone too far relative to the company’s longer-term earnings potential.
Looking at fundamentals, Gibraltar’s first-quarter sales jumped 45% to $356.3 million, largely driven by OmniMax and other acquisitions. The company also raised its synergy target from the OmniMax integration to $26 million, with $16 million expected to contribute to 2026 adjusted EBITDA. Management said more than 500 integration milestones have already been completed in the first 90 days.
The weak spot remains profitability. Adjusted EPS fell 50% to $0.45 as aluminum inflation, acquisition costs, and softer residential demand weighed on margins. Still, Gibraltar reaffirmed full-year guidance calling for up to $326 million in adjusted EBITDA and as much as $4.05 in adjusted EPS. Whether the firm can meet or hopefully surpass those expectations will likely be the biggest catalyst going forward.
