MDU Resources Group Inc is not a strong buy for a beginner investor with a long-term strategy at this time. While the company has shown improved financial performance in the latest quarter, the technical indicators and trading signals do not suggest a compelling entry point. Additionally, the lack of significant positive catalysts and the neutral sentiment from hedge funds and insiders further support a hold recommendation.
The MACD is below 0 and negatively contracting, suggesting bearish momentum. RSI is neutral at 62.197, and moving averages are converging, indicating no clear trend. The stock is trading near its resistance level (R1: 21.087), which could limit upward movement in the short term.
The company reported strong financial growth in Q4 2025, with a 38.33% YoY increase in net income and a 37.04% YoY increase in EPS.
Gross margin dropped by 13.57% YoY, indicating potential cost pressures. No recent news or significant trading trends from hedge funds or insiders. Analysts have mixed views, with one lowering the price target and another issuing a Hold rating.
In Q4 2025, revenue remained flat YoY, but net income increased by 38.33% YoY to $76.3M, and EPS rose by 37.04% YoY to $0.37. However, gross margin decreased by 13.57% YoY to 45.6%.
Analysts have mixed views. BofA maintains a Buy rating but lowered the price target to $22 from $23. Freedom Capital initiated coverage with a Hold rating and a $20 price target, citing valuation concerns and regulatory risks.
