I expect Graham's stock to rise in 2025, with potential interest rate cuts likely to restart big defense projects. Despite high interest rates, the company managed to maintain strong sales growth in defense projects, driven by the Mark 48 torpedo and submarine programs. Graham's debt-free status, with $21.6 million in cash reserves and a $35 million credit line, provides plenty of flexibility to handle any delays or cost overruns at the Batavia facility.

As of this moment, we find Graham Holdings – a diversified conglomerate with interests in education, media, healthcare, manufacturing, and restaurants – and Laureate Education – a company that operates a network of licensed campus-based and online universities in Mexico and Peru – as more attractive buys than McDonald's.
