Analysis · DSGR · Trade & Services
The investor presentation attached to the $700M Senior Notes offering adds two material disclosures beyond the financing itself. First, DSGR estimates Q3 2026 revenue of $564M–$572M, up 9–10% year-over-year, with Adjusted EBITDA of $55.3M–$59.0M — a 14–22% jump that would mark the strongest quarterly profit growth in over a year. Second, the deck quantifies a $605M–$655M acquisition pipeline: a ~$145M near-term MRO target plus five additional targets totaling $460M–$510M, expected to contribute ~$74M of combined Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA. These figures give investors concrete visibility into both the near-term operating momentum and the post-merger growth strategy that LKCM is using to justify the $35/share take-private. The stock trades at $34.98, just below the $35.00 deal price, so the Q3 beat and pipeline detail reinforce that the buyout is proceeding on solid fundamentals rather than distress.
