subject: Industrial Services Of American (nasdaq: Idsa) Hits New 52-week High On Updated Guidance [print this page] Shares of Industrial Services of America (Nasdaq: IDSA) hit a new 52-week high yesterday before closing up over 13% at $16.71 per share on very heavy volume. Shares took a while to respond to the company's news last week raising guidance numbers for the upcoming release of second quarter results.
For the second quarter ending June 30, 2010, ISA expects earnings to be in the range of $0.33 to $0.38 per share on revenues in the range of $91 - $95 million. That compares with second quarter 2009 earnings of $0.17 per share on revenues of $39.1 million. Sales guidance for the quarter ending June 30, 2010 will exceed the high end of previous guidance. This was due to a stronger than expected final week of the quarter.
In a press release, Harry Kletter, CEO and founder of ISA states, "We have been very successful in our business expansion during the past two years and we will continue to look for new opportunities. While some economic indicators are suggesting a moderate slowdown in the economic recovery, we believe that the long term prognosis is still very promising."
The recently announced specialty alloys division is now fully operational in its 150,000-square foot building which is on adjoining property to the stainless and non-ferrous operations.
ISA's core business is buying, processing and marketing scrap metals and recyclable materials for domestic users and export markets. Additionally, ISA offers commercial, industrial and business customers a variety of programs and equipment to efficiently manage waste.
