| Up 86.2% since ProPicks AI added it, still trades 58% below fair value |
|
| In July, our Small-Cap Sprinters strategy added a stock that had lost roughly 63% of its value over the previous year and was trading at less than a third of its 52-week high. |
|
| It has gained 86.2% since. |
|
| The company is Everforth (NYSE:EFOR), the US technology and digital engineering firm that rebranded from ASGN in April, consolidating Apex Systems, Creative Circle, CyberCoders and Everforth ECS under one identity. It is the fourth-largest IT staffing firm in the country. |
|
| The case that got it selected is still intact. Q2 revenue of $1,007 million and adjusted EBITDA of $96.7 million both came in above guidance. Everforth ECS won a $115 million three-year US Army AI research contract in July, followed by a $30 million four-year Defense Health Agency contract in August. The $290 million Quinnox acquisition adds offshore engineering capacity in India at low-20% EBITDA margins. |
|
| Shares trade at 8.65x forward earnings, and our Fair Value model gives the stock 58.28% upside. |
|
| The bear case is not small. Net income fell to $14.2 million from $29.3 million a year earlier, and total backlog declined to $2,670.7 million from $2,924.7 million. Seven analysts cut EPS estimates in the last 90 days against two who raised them, and the Growth Rating sits at 1.8 out of 10. |
|
 |
|
| Everforth is up +86.2% since July in our Small-Cap Sprinters strategy |

|
| What ProPicks AI identified here is a company the market had priced for permanent decline, at the exact point where federal contract wins and a higher-margin delivery mix started changing the arithmetic. |
