DecisionPoint (DPSI) Q1 Earnings & Revenues Top Estimates

Read MoreHide Full Article

DecisionPoint Systems (DPSI - Free Report) reported first-quarter 2022 earnings of 6 cents per share, soaring 200% year over year and beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 20%.

Revenues increased 22.7% year over year to $19.7 million and topped the consensus mark by 9.6%. The top line was driven by broad-based strength across several verticals amid  global supply chain disruptions. Also, the company’s strong relationships with its OEMs and distribution partners have enabled it to build up inventory for deals that will be shipped over the next few quarters, added DecisionPoint.

Synergies from acquisitions are likely to drive DecisionPoint’s performance. The company concluded two buyouts — Advanced Mobile Group and Boston Technologies —  in the quarter under review. These acquisitions boost the company’s position in the lucrative transportation and direct store delivery verticals.

Shares are up 4.2% in the premarket trading on May 17. In the past year, the stock has lost 10.7% against the industry’s decline of 3.3%
