Manufacturer of railway freight cars and equipment Greenbrier Company (NYSE: GBX) The stock made a sharp nose dive in March 2022, ahead of the 2022 strong financial report. The company is successfully navigating supply chain disruptions and inflationary pressures on products resulting in higher raw material costs and rising logistical costs. The Russian conflict in Ukraine is expected to have far-reaching consequences due to inflation in commodities, including grain, crude oil and fertilizers. They are also among the top suppliers of iron ore and finished steel in Europe. However, strong demand, strong liquidity, and evolving leasing operations are offset headwind as Greenbrier continues to have market share. It is noteworthy that U.S. freight rail routes, including diesel and electric power generation, are 3X to 4X more fuel-efficient than trucks. In fact, one ton of freight per gallon of fuel can be moved about 500 miles with a 75% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions. It relieves traffic jams and wear on highways. One of the reasons Greenbrier’s second-half story of the year is that its pricing actions in Q1 are fruitful. Wise investors looking for exposure to a leader in the rail car industry in bargaining can look to scale to the position of opportunistic pullback.

Conference Call Takeaways
CEO Tekorius took over as CEO on March 1, 2022 Former CEO Bill Furman has been transferred to the position of executive chairman “The current war in Europe has put a direct strain on the availability and cost of products ranging from minerals to food to fertilizer to crude oil, as well as coal and natural gas,” said Furman. Commodity markets have traditionally been a major indicator of the expansion of rail freight. Most commodities shipped by rail due to sanctions on Russia or reduced production in Russia and Ukraine are facing upward price pressures due to limited demand. And demand for trains will increase in Brazil and elsewhere in the world. “
CEO Tecorius noted that the company is still feeling the effects of the epidemic, including missing about 12% of its workforce due to virus compression. Supply chains and labor pressures allow direct production margins to fall below expectations. However, they have been able to avoid any off-line material availability. This is all temporary because operating momentum tends to improve with higher pricing and optimized overhead exploitation on increased production. The Russian-Ukrainian conflict is directly affecting the cost of materials and they are among the largest suppliers of iron ore, and finished steel. The cost of higher materials arising from the conflict is also affecting its service business, but the company is beginning to see financial improvement from the plan implemented in FY 2022 to FY 2022 and needs to become clearer in the second half of the year. He concluded, “As we have said before, market recovery will not follow a straight line, and there will be challenges along the way. We are doing our business to meet this challenge wherever we can, continue to provide solutions to our customers and ultimately pay the price to our shareholders. “
