Industrials businesses quietly power the physical things we depend on, from cars and homes to e-commerce infrastructure. But they are at the whim of volatile macroeconomic factors that influence capital spending (like interest rates), and the industry has underperformed the market over the past six months as its 2.1% return lagged the S&P 500 by 10.9 percentage points.

Worthington currently trades at $56.97 per share and has shown little upside over the past six months, posting a small loss of 2.7%. The stock also fell short of the S&P 500’s 11.7% gain during that period.
