As of Jun 22, 2026. Market Open.
EPS of $0.08 missed expectations of $0.086 and revenues of $91.1M beat estimates of $83.64M. This is the second consecutive quarter of disappointing results, and while it trades at a reasonable valuation of 13.3X forward earnings, its high and growing debt levels are a concern. Its valuation has been lower in the past, and so there is room for multiple contraction here. Given its high debt load and long-term declining earnings, we would feel comfortable taking some gains off the table here. With debt levels creeping higher, we feel this can begin to erode its profits and cash flow.

Because of West Coast LNG facilities that are likely to go ahead, one facility will require about 4000 beds. If 2 or 3 of them get going, you could get about 12,000 beds.
