Source: ShutterstockMercury Systems (NASDAQ:MRCY) stock is falling on Tuesday after getting hit with a short report from Glasshouse.
That coverage from Glasshouse has it kicking off MRCY stock with a “strong sell” rating. The firm also claims that investors will see the price of the company’s stock fall “precipitously over the next twelve months.”
So why exactly does Glasshouse have such a negative opinion of Mercury Systems? According to the firm, the company is a serial acquirer that uses its frequent acquisitions to cover up suspicious earnings and revenue data.
Glasshouse addresses the revenue sales growth seen by Mercury Systems with the following statement.
“Based on our analysis, we believe that much of the recent sales growth was attributable to prematurely recognizing revenue. With respect to the company’s already diminished cash flow figures, we believe stated free cash flow fails to consider the company’s delay of payment to suppliers and the massive amount of cash spent on acquisitions. When including these items, free-cash-flow would have been abysmal for FY2022 and prior.”
