Smoak Capital Management Daniel B. Smoak | “QEP recently reshaped its business by divesting unprofitable floor covering operations, shifting its balance sheet from $30M net debt to over $30M net cash while expanding operating margins from 3% to over 10%. The core tool business is highly profitable with enduring brand equity and long-standing distribution through Home Depot. Trading at 4.5x EV/EBIT, QEP offers 60-90% upside toward a fair value multiple of 8-10x EBIT, supported by new dividends and capital return initiatives.” | BULL | Q4 2024 Dec 31, 2024 | View Pitch |
