Fundamentals
Valuation and ratings
Quanex Building Products Corporation trades at USD18.60, close to the USD15.99 our discounted cash flow model puts on the business. On this measure the market and the model broadly agree, so the interesting question is which of them is wrong.
Our moat model scores it 18 out of 100, which is little in the way of a moat. A moat is a structural reason competitors cannot take the profits away, and it matters more to a long holding period than any single quarter's numbers do.

Against our discounted cash flow estimate of USD15.99, NX at USD18.60 is 14% above fair value. That is one model's answer, not a recommendation, and most of a DCF's output sits in a terminal value nobody can forecast.
Which funds own NX?
7 of the institutions we track reported a position in NX in their most recent SEC 13F filing. A 13F is filed up to 45 days after quarter end, so it tells you what a fund held then, not what it holds now.
