Insteel Industries, Inc. is the largest manufacturer of steel wire reinforcing products for concrete construction applications in the United States, serving primarily nonresidential construction markets.
In the second quarter of fiscal 2025, Insteel Industries reported a significant increase in net earnings, reaching $10.2 million, or $0.52 per diluted share, compared to $6.9 million, or $0.35 per diluted share, in the same period last year. The company also saw a 26.1% rise in net sales to $160.7 million, driven by a substantial increase in shipments despite a slight decline in average selling prices.
Key financial highlights include a gross profit of $24.5 million, representing 15.3% of net sales, and a net cash balance of $28.4 million with no outstanding debt. The company’s performance was bolstered by recovering demand for its products, lower manufacturing costs, and contributions from recent acquisitions, although these gains were partially offset by increased selling, general, and administrative expenses.
Looking ahead, Insteel Industries remains optimistic about continued demand growth and market activity, despite potential challenges from recent tariff policy changes. The company’s management is focused on navigating these changes to maintain its competitive position and manage costs effectively.
