Summary Patterson Companies, Inc. presents itself as a distributor for the dental supply markets and the animal health supply markets. In my opinion, some investors may be expecting tariffs to increase as a result of the election of the new President. The company recently noted two new acquisitions, which could bring synergies in 2025, and 2026. The new acquisitions could also bring a number of new clients. Patterson reported a large increase in D&A and capital expenditures. It appears clear that the company is investing large amounts of dollars to build more capacity. The company's current stock price is not far from the levels seen in 2009, and in 2020. It appears to be a gift at 7x FWD EBITDA, and 6x FWD cash flow.

Summary Patterson Companies, Inc. (PDCO) is not reinvesting cash earnings into growth. Despite cheap valuations, PDCO's intrinsic worth supports these, and the stock remains at ~2.5x EV/IC with declining earnings power anyway. PDCO's Q1 FY'25 earnings show significant operational friction, with contracting margins and a structural downtrend in business performance. Given the lack of reinvestment and growth, I revise PDCO's rating to hold, as the opportunity cost of owning it is too high.
