Holley: A Long Drive Ahead
Summary Holley only sees a thin margin of safety with their credit facility leverage ratio, which could push worryingly close to the covenant limit if they suffer further weak quarters. Given their lack of dividends, share buybacks, and capital expenditure, they have no quick levers to pull if this eventuates. There are further bad signs, with their net sales trending down and distribution partners destocking inventory. Unless their financial performance improves significantly, it could take five or more years to deleverage. I will continue sitting on the sidelines due to what I expect is going to be a long drive ahead of deleveraging. Read the full article on Seeking AlphaAnalysis Article • Nov 13
