Positive Outlook
- Construction activity remains robust, particularly in key states like Texas, and could see additional upside from new state and federal infrastructure spending.
- We continue to see healthy activity in infrastructure and residential markets, while non-residential markets have performed better than expected, led by increased demand for distribution and data centers.
- Our Engineered Structures product lines continue to experience healthy demand led by increased spending on electrical transmission, telecom, and traffic infrastructure
- Dry barge demand is fundamentally strong, and a recovering agricultural economy drove our barge business to a 1.0 book-to-bill in Q4 2020.
- Industry analysts expect a recovery in new railcar deliveries in the second half of 2021 and into 2022.
Challenges Ahead
- We expect lower production for wind towers in 2021.
- The largest year-over-year challenge in 2021 will be in our Transportation Products segment, as the barge business continues to be impacted by the effects of COVID-19.
- Dry barge orders have recently been deferred by the rapid acceleration in steel prices since December 2020, driven by steel capacity that was idled during COVID.
- Liquid barge demand remains depressed by reduced demand for refined products and petrochemicals, which began declining during the COVID pandemic and has not recovered to pre-pandemic levels.
- The February 2021 winter storm in Texas and the broader Southern United States will impact our Q1 performance, as we lost more than one week of production across a significant part of our operating footprint.
