Q: As always, would appreciate your viewpoint on DXT's just released Q4 and YE results. The initial reaction from the market was negative but that isn't always an accurate reflection in these extremely volatile times.
5i Research Answer:
The stock has bounced on Thursday. EPS of 12c missed estimates of 18c; revenue of $270.9M was slightly below estimates. EBITDA of $32.6M beat estimates by 3%. Profit rose 7.2%. Revenue rose 9.3%. Sales were boosted by strong camp occupancy, new sales, and the acquisition of Right Choice last year. EBITDA rose 22%. The stock has done very well (up 73% in a year) and so the earnings missed resulted in some profit-taking. It is a small company with some debt, but we would generally be comfortable with these results overalll.
