Kirby Corp. Q4 Preview: Drill, Baby, Drill Seems Promising, But Early To Tell

Increased demand for backup power among industrial, retail, and data center customers is driving strong growth within the D&S business, but this remains a lower-margin segment relative to marine operations. Kirby shares have already enjoyed a big move, but past up-cycles suggest that there could still be upside. Read the full article on Seeking AlphaAnalyse der Geschäftsführervergütung
