Friedman Industries Inc is a good buy right now due to its strong financial performance, including a recent GAAP EPS of $1.30 and a year-over-year revenue growth of 48.4% in Q4. The stock is currently priced at $41.46, which is 77.3% of its 52-week high of $48.77, suggesting room for growth. Additionally, the company has shown a positive trend in gross margin, which increased to 21.54% in Q4 2026. However, a potential risk is the RSI of 41.712, indicating that the stock is nearing oversold territory, which could lead to short-term volatility.
