On October 23, Rollins rose 5.02% in Regular Trading, trading near $35.115 per share, with turnover of $255 million.
The move came after the company’s latest quarterly results were absorbed by the market, with shares rebounding following an initial earnings-driven selloff.
Rollins reported third-quarter adjusted EPS of $0.34, in line with market expectations but below $0.35 a year earlier, while revenue rose to $1.09 billion from $1.03 billion and missed the roughly $1.106 billion to $1.11 billion consensus range. Earlier, the earnings release had pressured the stock because revenue fell short of expectations and profit declined year over year. The company had also raised its quarterly dividend to $0.20 per share from $0.1825, but recent analyst target cuts, including reductions by Goldman Sachs to $42 from $49 and Bernstein to $35 from $42, indicate sentiment remains cautious despite the intraday rebound.
