Mistras Group Inc (NYSE:MG) ($19.84; $631.9M market cap) announced a definitive agreement to be acquired by H.I.G. Capital for $20.35 per share in cash.

Our Quick Take:

Although this represents only a 2.57% premium to yesterday's close, we've been tracking the stock for a couple of years now and eventually added it to our Data Center Screen on September 29, 2025. At that point, the stock was trading at around $9.68, so it has essentially doubled since we added it. And just a month later, in October 2025, one of our subscribers, Wade Harris, pitched the stock when it was trading at $9.39.

In that note, Wade framed Mistras as a mature industrial asset-integrity and non-destructive testing business trying to reinvent itself as a data platform. The thesis rested on its shift toward higher-margin, recurring software, secular tailwinds across aerospace & defense and power generation, and room to consolidate a highly fragmented NDT market, all available at roughly 12x normalized earnings, which left meaningful upside if management could sustain 15–20% earnings growth.

Between our screen catching it early and one of our subscribers laying out the thesis at $9.39, this is exactly the kind of edge that comes from digging into the microcaps everyone else ignores.

Here is an open forum clip where we talked about MG’s transformation.

Mistras Group Inc (NYSE:MG) ($15.68; $494.7M market cap) announced Q4 and full-year 2025 results:

Q4 sales of $181.5 million vs. $172.7 million in the prior year, above analyst estimates of $176.3 million
Q4 2025 EPS: $0.25 vs. $0.24 in the prior year, above analyst estimates of $0.24
FY 2025 sales of $724.0 million vs. $729.6 million in the prior year, above analyst estimates of $718.8 million
FY 2025 EPS: $0.88 vs. $0.72 in the prior year, above analyst estimates of $0.66

Management Commentary:

“Our 2025 performance demonstrates meaningful progress in profitability, achieving our record Adjusted EBITDA of $91.1 million and our highest Adjusted EBITDA margin to date at 12.6%. This improvement was driven by disciplined execution, continued gross profit margin expansion, and a sharper focus on higher-return opportunities. As we look to 2026, we are well positioned to drive profitable revenue growth, fueled by increasing demand in targeted end markets, the proven value of our comprehensive service offerings, and our strong track record of delivering for customers.”

“As we enter 2026, the Board of Directors fully supports management’s strategy of continuing to invest in transforming and modernizing our platform. In our industry, long-term value is created by investing to meet demand within our end markets — in data integrity, digital inspection capabilities, specialized talent, and accreditation for higher-complexity Aerospace and Defense work. Most importantly, the Board of Directors views 2026 as an opportunity to accelerate our strategy via increased investments and a deliberate step to deepen our technical differentiation and expand our relevance to customers operating in regulated, mission-critical environments. We are confident in our execution plan, capital allocation priorities, and long-term ambitions. The Board of Directors views 2026 as a targeted year, which will strengthen the foundation for future growth.”

Our Quick Take:

The company provided 2026 revenue guidance on the conference call, ranging from $730 to $750 million, and adjusted EBITDA of $91 to $93 million, and expects net income to be higher than in 2025. The guidance implies very little to no growth as a whole. We are mainly monitoring their initiatives to expand their on-site inspection activities to more critical assets, like data centers, as well as their adoption of remote monitoring and software solutions.
