Stock Track12-12

Shares of Liquidity Services (NASDAQ: LQDT) surged 20.39% in pre-market trading on Thursday, following the company's impressive fourth-quarter fiscal 2024 earnings report and robust outlook for the first quarter of fiscal 2025. The online auction marketplace for surplus and salvage assets reported better-than-expected results, with earnings per share of $0.32 surpassing the consensus estimate of $0.28 by a significant 14.29% margin. Additionally, the company's revenue of $106.9 million exceeded analysts' expectations of $93.049 million, representing a 14.89% beat and a 33.7% increase compared to the same period last year.

The strong performance was driven by record Gross Merchandise Volume (GMV) of $361 million, up 14% year-over-year, and solid growth across all segments. The company's RSCG segment set new quarterly records in GMV, revenue, and segment direct profit, fueled by expanded relationships with seller clients and leveraging its multi-channel buyer liquidity. The GovDeals segment delivered robust double-digit growth through ongoing seller acquisition and service expansion, while the Machinio segment achieved another quarterly revenue record.

Looking ahead, Liquidity Services provided an encouraging outlook for the first quarter of fiscal 2025, anticipating continued growth across its segments. The company expects GMV to range between $350 million and $385 million, with adjusted EBITDA forecasted between $9.5 million and $12.5 million. The robust guidance reflects the company's scalable marketplace technology, broad range of services, diversified client base, organic growth initiatives, and a promising pipeline of acquisition opportunities.
