Perma-Pipe and Welspun Sign MOU to Build Pipe Facilities in Jordan
PPIH sits 25% above its 52-week low of $21.96.
Summary
Perma-Pipe and Welspun signed an MOU with Jordan's government to establish a joint venture for pipe manufacturing and coating facilities supporting the National Water Carrier Project. The partnership combines Welspun's large-diameter pipe production with Perma-Pipe's anti-corrosion coating expertise, targeting water, oil and gas, and infrastructure projects across the Levant. This follows Perma-Pipe's $67M Q2 order intake and new $139M credit facility, signaling expansion into a strategically important regional market. Definitive agreements, investment size, and ownership structure are still pending, so the financial impact remains uncertain. The deal could open reconstruction opportunities in Syria, Lebanon, Iraq, and Gaza, but execution risk is high given the early-stage MOU.
At the time of this announcement, PPIH was trading at $27.43 on NASDAQ in the Industrial Applications And Services sector, with a market capitalization of approximately $222.9M.
