One Small Cap A Day: Kewaunee Scientific (KEQU)
KEQU (overview): Niche lab furniture/biocontainment supplier, sub-$150M mkt cap. NuAire acquisition ($55M, debt-funded, $23M notes already repaid) adds higher-margin recurring biosafety equipment. FY26 sales +17.3% to $282M but EBITDA flat. Backlog fell to $165.9M from $214.6M on two India cancellations, tanking stock.
