On October 22, Rollins fell 8.22% in Pre-Market Trading, trading at $31.0 per share, with turnover of $81,700.
The move followed the company’s latest quarterly results, which showed adjusted EPS of $0.34, in line with market expectations but down from $0.35 a year earlier, while revenue rose to $1.09 billion from $1.03 billion but missed the $1.106 billion consensus estimate.
The revenue shortfall appears to be the direct catalyst for the selloff. Although Rollins had just raised its quarterly dividend to $0.20 per share from $0.1825, that shareholder-return step did not offset investor concern over softer-than-expected top-line performance and a year-over-year decline in adjusted earnings.
