Perimeter Solutions Posts $1.11 Q2 Loss Per Share, Reversing Q1 Gains
PRM has more than doubled off its 52-week low of $15.43.
Summary
Perimeter Solutions reported a Q2 loss of $1.11 per share, a sharp reversal from the strong Q1 that saw a 74% sales jump and a $500M government contract. Adjusted EPS was 35 cents, and sales rose to $213.8 million, driven by specialty products growth. The loss wipes out much of the Q1 momentum and raises questions about the sustainability of the acquisition-driven growth. This follows a pattern of heavy insider selling in May, with the CFO and CEO offloading millions in stock. The market will now scrutinize whether the Q1 contract benefits were one-time or if underlying operations are deteriorating. No revenue or adjusted figures were provided beyond the sales and adjusted EPS, so the full picture awaits the 10-Q.
