Horos Asset Management made the following comment about Mistras Group, Inc. (NYSE:MG) in its first quarter 2023 investor letter:

“We increased our stake in Mistras Group, Inc. (NYSE:MG) during the quarter in view of the evident recovery of its business this past 2022, as well as our solid cash generation prospects for 2023 and the following years. The company has continued to reduce its debt and has also announced important measures to execute a cost-cutting plan that will undoubtedly contribute to improving the profitability of the business and its cash-generating ability. We believe that the company is completely off the radar of the investment community, both because of its exposure to the oil and gas industry (to which it provides inspection, testing and maintenance services) and because of its small size (about $150 million market capitalization at year-end 2022), which is creating a great investment opportunity.”
