Camping World: Insider Sales Could Point To A Rough Road Ahead
Summary In my view, the insider selling activity by the CEO and Abrams Capital suggests weak confidence in the near-term performance of the company. Used RV sales dropped sharply, with heavy discounting eroding margins. Rising floor plan interest expenses, up 34.5% YoY, are cutting into profitability. Revenue and operating income have declined for seven consecutive quarters (YoY). In my view, ongoing headwinds overshadow favorable price-to-sales and cash flow metrics. Therefore, I maintain a Hold rating for this stock. Read the full article on Seeking AlphaAnalysis Article • Oct 04
