Astec Industries remains a buy with strong growth and attractive valuation despite recent setbacks.

Astec Industries is recommended as a 'buy' due to its attractive valuation and growth driven by acquisitions and strong segment performance. The company's backlog increased 57.9% year-over-year to $601.1 million, and management aims for over 6% annual revenue growth and 25%+ annual operating cash flow growth through 2030. These targets leverage infrastructure spending trends, offering investors a potential 13.7% annualized upside based on 2030 EBITDA projections. Despite recent underperformance and revised guidance, the company's fundamentals remain strong.
