The strategic shift by Gibraltar Industries, as reported in a recent article, involves exiting its underperforming Renewable segment Gibraltar Industries: Strategic Pivot Is Net Neutral, Core Business Remains Attractively Valued^[1]. The company's management cited external challenges such as anti-dumping and trade disputes, as well as supply chain problems and permitting issues, as the primary reasons for this decision. The divestiture is expected to be completed by the end of 2025, allowing the company to channel more capital and resources into its better-performing segments, including Agtech and Infrastructure.

The Infrastructure segment also delivered positive growth, with the segment delivering ~1.6% YoY growth to $25.6 million Gibraltar Industries: Strategic Pivot Is Net Neutral, Core Business Remains Attractively Valued^[1].
