What Happened?
Shares of agriculture products company SiteOne Landscape Supply (NYSE: SITE) jumped 10.3% in the afternoon session after the company reported third-quarter results that beat analysts' profit estimates. The company's sales of $1.26 billion were up 4.1% year on year, meeting Wall Street's expectations. More impressively, organic revenue grew 3%, significantly outpacing the 1.1% growth analysts had projected. SiteOne's GAAP earnings per share came in at $1.31, which was 6% ahead of consensus estimates. Adjusted EBITDA also outperformed, reaching $127.5 million against an expected $124 million. However, the report was not entirely positive, as the company's full-year EBITDA guidance of $410 million at the midpoint was slightly below the $414.7 million analysts were forecasting. Despite the mixed report, investors appeared to focus on the better-than-expected profitability and organic growth.
