AI Summary

Stalk
StalkMedium

WLDN is in a Stage 2 advance with long-term and medium-term bullish bias, but the recent marginal new highs have shown exhaustion and overbought conditions, making current bullish execution ill-timed. Price is extended above key EMAs and approaching structural resistance. We prefer to defer entry on pullbacks into support or EMAs rather than chase the rally. A decisive break above recent highs would invite re-evaluation, but for now, we stalk for a better entry.

  • We had a strong start to 2025, delivering record first quarter results for revenue, adjusted EBITDA, and EDS. We surpassed both analyst expectations and our internal forecast. Contract and net revenue each grew 24% year over year, Adjusted EBITDA rose 31%, GAAP diluted EPS increased 52%, and adjusted diluted EPS was up 58%.
  • Performance was strong across all business lines, driven by consistent execution. In the quarter, we completed two more acquisitions that expanded our geography and our electrical engineering capabilities.
