PATK ($49.00) - In our March 3, 2016 note we stated PATK continues to hit on all cylinders. Consistent strong sales and earnings growth has been occurring for over 3 years now. The company recently announced two bolt-on acquisitions, both to be immediately accretive to earnings.

We stated we would once again take a really close look at PATK to see if re-entering at current levels is prudent. The stock never pulled backed and we unfortunately did not pull the trigger. Shares are up 14% since our March 3 note.

Today PATK announced strong Q1 2016 results:

Sales of $278.6 million vs $223.4 million in the prior year period and ahead of analyst estimates of $270.2 million
EPS of $0.80 vs $0.59 in the prior year period and ahead of analyst estimates of $0.70

Bullish commentary from management:

Overall, dealer and OEM sentiment in the RV industry remains positive, evidenced by a strong start to retail sales in the first two months of 2016 per industry sources. The MH industry is gaining strength as expected, and both our MH and industrial businesses continue to outperform their respective markets. In addition, our most recent acquisitions of Parkland Plastics, Inc. and The Progressive Group provide us the opportunity to enter into a new product space and to diversify our product offerings into new markets..

...the MH industry had its strongest first quarter start since 2012, indicating continued positive momentum and increasing demand. Our industrial revenues increased significantly as we continue to position our industrial sales team with opportunities through acquisitions and innovative new products to penetrate the residential housing, retail, commercial, hospitality and institutional markets."

PATK was an early GeoBargain on the radar. We coded it on 12/08/2011 at $3.50, and took it off the list a year later when the stock was at $15.29. At the time, although a 335% gain was great we clearly left some money on the table as the stock never looked backed and continued to reach new highs.

PATK ($42.53) shares soar on acquisition and upgrade

It took it little longer than we anticipated, but the stock finally made a nice move to the upside. In our May 20, 2015 email when the stock was trading at $39.71 and via premium tweet on June 9, 2015 when the stock was trading at $37.25 we stated we had nibbled at shares as the stock has pulled back off highs despite reporting very strong Q1 2015 results. Yesterday, shares of PATK closed up 12% after hitting a new 52 week high of $44.95 on the heels of completing the acquisition of North American Forest Products and an upgrade to “strong buy” by CL King with a price target of $51.00. The acquisition of North American Forest Products will add roughly $165 million in revenue and be immediately accretive to earnings. Current estimates have PATK earnings at $2.49 EPS in 2015 and $3.18 EPS in 2016. We are currently reviewing analyst estimates to see if they fully reflect the recent acquisition. We are still long PATK.
