Our Take

IDT exited the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024 with encouraging top-line and bottom-line results. Robust performances by the majority of its segments were impressive. The continued strength in BOSS Money Transactions is also promising. The expansion of gross margin bodes well.

Within the NRS segment, IDT continued to expand its customer base in the large independent retailer market, while net2phone is also steadily building its customer base. This raises our optimism about the stock.

However, the decline in IDT’s Traditional Communications segment’s revenues was disappointing.
