Patterson (PDCO US): Issues to consider
Patterson reports that its revenue is recovering and business is returning to normal. Presumably this means a return to
1. Front loading profits 2. Manipulating working capital to disguise leverage 3. Rising CEO pay, even as profits fall 4. Interest costs that are more than double what they should be 5. Chapter 11 looking ever more likely We wonder why T. Rowe Price, a company that says it cares about ESG, is happy to be the largest shareholder? Is there a possibility that T. Rowe has never properly read Patterson's SEC filings? Maybe they don't understand how covenants work? |
