Target Hospitality (TH) Stock Trades Up, Here Is Why
What Happened:
Shares of workforce housing company Target Hospitality (NASDAQ:TH) jumped 17.1% in the pre-market session after the company reported fourth-quarter results that blew past analysts' revenue expectations. The strong topline performance was driven by the Government segment (benefitted from the company's Pecos Children's Center community contract) and growing customer demand in the HFS – South segment. Its operating margin also outperformed Wall Street's estimates. Guidance was also encouraging, with full year 2024 revenue guidance comfortably ahead while the outlook for adjusted EBITDA was slightly above expectations. Zooming out, this was a fantastic quarter that should have shareholders cheering. After the initial pop the shares cooled down to $8.91, up 4.2% from previous close.
