DecisionPoint (DPSI) Q3 Earnings Top Estimates, Revenues Up Y/Y
Read MoreHide Full Article
DecisionPoint Systems reported third-quarter 2023 earnings of 13 cents per share compared with 16 cents a year ago. The Zacks Consensus Estimate was pegged at 7 cents.
Revenues increased 5.4% year over year to $27.1 million but missed the consensus mark by 3.4%.
The top line was driven by higher software and services revenues along with contributions from buyouts and cross-selling opportunities. The acquisition of Macro Integration Services (MIS) shifted product mix toward higher gross margin software and services, and expanded presence in the retail vertical, particularly grocery and food service.
Following the announcement, shares of DPSI rose 15.8% and closed trading $5.78 on Nov 14. In the past year, the stock has fallen 1.9% compared with sub-industry’s growth of 45.8%.
