Our Final Perspective on Houston Wire

Whereas some firms under the industrial distribution industry are still a bit expensive, Houston Wire may offer a potential longer-term growth to investors.

From a slightly different point of view, the entity appears to be overvalued. Our concluding 30 days buy-hold-sell advice on the company is Strong Sell.
