MTS Systems (NASDAQ:MTSC)
is not at all a well-known company - just two analysts follow this
manufacturer of industrial testing systems and sensors - but what it
lacks in popularity may not matter to patient investors. The company is
well-placed to take advantage of growth in the Chinese auto OEM sector,
as well the ongoing trend across multiple industries to make greater use
of composite materials, and is supplementing its traditional strength
in testing systems with a growing higher-margin sensor business and an
increased focus on service.
These shares have more or less tracked the S&P 500 since my initial write-up in September,
but better things could be in store relatively soon. Order levels have
accelerated recently and the company should be nearing the end of margin
pressures tied to upfront spending meant to grow the service business.
Although I still do not believe the company will hit management's
ambitious revenue growth targets over the next few years, the shares do
appear undervalued and hitting those targets could be an invaluable
source of upside.
