Following the news, the company’s shares rose nearly 2.6% in the pre-market trading session. Meanwhile, shares of NACG have outperformed the industry in the past three months. The company’s shares have gained 18.8% compared with the industry’s 7.2% growth in the said period.

Joe Lambert, President & Chief Executive Officer of NACG, said “NACG has worked with David and his team at DGI for many years and have great respect for their skills and the integrity with which they conduct business. We welcome the DGI team into our NACG family and are very excited to work together to grow and expand the services provided both externally and internally.”
DGI supplies production-critical components to the mining industry through business relationships and a complex logistical network. DGI has connections in 10 key countries, which helps the company in more agile and economical connectivity.
Importantly, Kempsey, NSW, Australia-based DGI will operate as NACG’s wholly-owned subsidiary, and retain its brand identity as well as personnel. Following the transaction’s closure, the company will have access to new jurisdictions through DGI’s network and experience.
At 2018-end, it acquired 31 used ultra-class haul trucks from an existing oil sands client. Again in November 2018, NACG acquired all assets related to the Contract Mining business of Aecon Group Inc. All these buyouts have been contributing to NACG’s EBITDA, free cash flow and earnings since 2019.
Bitcoin, Like the Internet Itself, Could Change Everything
Blockchain and cryptocurrency has sparked one of the most exciting discussion topics of a generation. Some call it the “Internet of Money” and predict it could change the way money works forever. If true, it could do to banks what Netflix did to Blockbuster and Amazon did to Sears. Experts agree we’re still in the early stages of this technology, and as it grows, it will create several investing opportunities.
Zacks’ has just revealed 3 companies that can help investors capitalize on the explosive profit potential of Bitcoin and the other cryptocurrencies with significantly less volatility than buying them directly.
