From the All In Black Lace Dress for $38 that is popular with customers, to the Not Rated A Little Edge Boots for $72, Benson is proud to offer women clothing that will fit a variety of bodies and budgets.

LONDON, UK / ACCESSWIRE / June 29, 2017 / Pro-Trader Daily takes a look at the latest corporate events and news making the headlines for Hill-Rom Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: HRC), following which we have published a free report that can be viewed by signing up at http://protraderdaily.com/optin/?symbol=HRC. The Company announced on June 27, 2017, that it has entered into an agreement to sell its Volker business, to an affiliate of CoBe Capital.

The Announcement

This announcement from Hill-Rom comes in the light of Company’s constant efforts to optimize its portfolio and direct investment. Hill-Rom plans to focus on resources, and key, strategic growth platforms to deliver exceptional, long-term value to its shareholders.

Volker was initially established in 1912, in Witten, Germany, where it focused on delivering active patient-centered healthcare. Volker is one of Germany’s premiere producers of hospital and long-term care beds, and Hill-Rom acquired it in 2012. The acquisition further expanded Hill-Rom’s offering and portfolio to healthcare facilities.

In FY16, Volker’s net revenues stood at $40 million, subject to the execution of the agreement, Hill-Rom expects to record an after-tax special charge of about $30 million, principally for the non-cash write down of assets and transaction-related costs.

The Welch Allyn Campus Expansion

Prior to the announcement, on May 05, 2017, the Company reported that it had begun a facility expansion that would add about 100,000 square feet to its Welch Allyn Campus. This agreement came in light of the announcement in September 2016, when the Company committed to bringing more than 100 new jobs to Central New York where Welch Allyn had maintained a significant presence for more than 100 years. Welch Allyn is the largest component of Hill-Rom’s Front Line Care business, where Hill-Rom additionally plans to accommodate new positions, including R&D and engineering roles. Owing to the Trump’s policy of creating new jobs in the US itself, this announcement fuelled the Company’s growth strategy in the domestic market.

Company Growth Prospects

Hill-Rom is a global medical technology leader, which operates through more than 10,000 employees worldwide. The Company partners with healthcare providers in more than 100 nations, across different care settings. On May 18, 2017, the Company announced the launch of the new Hill-Rom 900 Accella bed system for higher acuity patients in intensive and acute care settings. The new bed system was made available in only selected markets outside the US.

Later, on May 22, 2017, the Company announced the launch of the new Hill-Rom® Envella™ Air Fluidized Therapy Bed, which allows the highest quality wound care for patients with advanced wounds. The Company observed different aspects, including increased bed depth, adjustable air flow, and sensing technologies, to advanced weight-based pressure distribution. Considering the extremely prevalent nature of pressure injuries, with one in 10 patients having it and one in 20 patients experiencing a facility-acquired pressure injury during their stay in the hospital, the demand for such a bed turns mandatory for efficient patient comfort and care.

The Company announced on May 26, 2017, a dividend of $0.18 per share payable on June 30, 2017, to shareholders of record as of the close of business on June 16, 2017.

Last Close Stock Review

Hill-Rom’s share price finished yesterday’s trading session at $79.97, rising 1.34%. A total volume of 315.18 thousand shares have exchanged hands. The Company’s stock price skyrocketed 12.55% in the last three months, 39.88% in the past six months, and 66.40% in the previous twelve months. Additionally, the stock soared 42.45% since the start of the year. Shares of the Company have a PE ratio of 34.48 and have a dividend yield of 0.90%. The stock currently has a market cap of $5.27 billion.

LONDON, UK / ACCESSWIRE / June 29, 2017 / Pro-Trader Daily has just published a free post-earnings coverage on Science Applications International Corp. (NYSE: SAIC), which can be viewed by registering at http://protraderdaily.com/optin/?symbol=SAIC, following the Company’s disclosure of its first quarter fiscal 2017 earnings results on June 13, 2017. The information technology Company surpassed earnings expectations. Our daily stock reports are accessible for free, and with those to look forward today you also will be signing up for a complimentary member’s account at: http://protraderdaily.com/register/.

At Pro-TD, we make it our mission to bring you news that matter about the stock you follow. Today, our research desk covers a blog story on SAIC. With the links below you can directly download the report of your stock of interest free of charge at: http://protraderdaily.com/optin/?symbol=SAIC.

Earnings Reviewed

For the first three months ended May 05, 2017, SAIC’s sales decreased 9.22% to $1.10 billion from $1.21 billion in Q1 2016. The decrease was due to one additional week in the prior year’s same quarter and the increased costs and investment on its platform integration programs. The Company’s revenue numbers came in below analysts’ expectations of $1.12 billion.

During Q1 2017, SAIC’s gross profit margin was 8.7%, down 0.9% from Q1 2016. The operating margin for the reported quarter was 5.7% compared to 5.4% in Q1 2016 primarily due to platform integration program impacts, offset by the reduction in estimated lease exit costs.

SAIC’s net income for Q1 2017 was $49 million up by 48.5% compared to $33 million in Q1 2016 due to lower income tax expense as a result of the adoption of the new accounting standard for excess tax benefits from stock-based compensation. The diluted earnings per share for the reported quarter were $1.08 compared to $0.71 for the prior year’s corresponding quarter. Earnings came in ahead of Wall Street’s expectations of $1.04 per share.

For the reported quarter, the Company’s adjusted EBITDA was $73 million, or 6.6% of revenue, compared to 7.1% for Q1 2016. EBITDA was impacted by higher net unfavorable contract estimates of $11 million, which included $9 million on its platform integration programs.

New Business Awards

SAIC’s net bookings for Q1 2017 were approximately $1.3 billion, which reflects a book-to-bill ratio of approximately 1.2. SAIC’s estimated backlog of signed business orders at the end of the quarter was approximately $8.2 billion of which $1.8 billion was funded.

Balance Sheet

As on May 05, 2017 SAIC’s cash and cash equivalents were $207 million above its average operating cash balance target of $150 million. The Company had total debt of $1.01 billion, equating to a bank EBITDA leverage ratio of less than 3x for the reported quarter.

For the reported quarter, operating cash flow increased to $88 million a 151.4% increase from $35 million in Q1 2016. The increase was primarily due to payments for an extra week of payroll in the prior year’s same quarter, excess tax benefits for stock based compensation in the current year’s same quarter, and the prior year’s working capital investments in Marine Corps platform integration and IT services programs.

During Q1 2017, SAIC deployed $61 million of capital, consisting of $38 million in plan share repurchases under SAIC’s previously announced share repurchase program, $14 million in cash dividends, and $9 million for a voluntary debt prepayment.

Subsequent to quarter-end, SAIC’s Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $0.31 per share of the Company’s common stock payable on July 28, 2017, to stockholders of record on July 14, 2017.

Outlook

SAIC expects full year profitability, as measured by EBITDA margin, to be 10 basis points lower than the prior year due to the impact of the platform integration programs.

For fiscal 2018 year, the Company expects $240 million of free cash flow nearly $20 million more than the previous estimate of $220 million. It expects to pay dividends of $55 million, make total debt payments of approximately $25 million, with the remainder of cash in excess of $150 million available for further share repurchase and strategic M&A.

Stock Performance

At the close of trading session on Wednesday, June 28, 2017, Science Applications’ stock price rose 2.11% to end the day at $70.64. A total volume of 211.65 thousand shares were exchanged during the session. The Company’s share price has surged 27.95% in the past twelve months. Shares of the Company have a PE ratio of 19.67 and have a dividend yield of 1.76%. The stock currently has a market cap of $3.08 billion.
