Ariel Investment made the following comment about The Brink’s Company (NYSE:BCO) in its Q3 2022 investor letter:
“Alternatively, logistics and cash management services provider The Brink’s Company (NYSE:BCO) declined over the period. We believe this price action runs counter to the company’s improving long term fundamental outlook. Despite global economic uncertainty and translation headwinds from a strengthening dollar, BCO continues to experience a recovery in revenues post-pandemic with operating profit benefitting from strong operational execution and margin expansion. Management also provided guidance for robust free cash flow generation and additional debt repayment. We believe BCO’s results demonstrate underappreciated resiliency amidst today’s macroeconomic uncertainty, while longer term, the company’s growth and productivity initiatives make this an attractive opportunity.”
