About BK Technologies
BK Technologies makes the two way radios that police, firefighters, and forest rangers grab when they need to talk during emergencies. Their newest radio also connects to cell networks, so first responders can share video and data, not just voice.
The case for and against
Both sides of the story, in plain English.
- Margin Magic
Gross margin jumped to 38.8 percent this quarter, up from 31.9 percent a year ago. That is the payoff from outsourcing manufacturing to a partner called East West, which slashed production costs. Net income hit 2.4 million dollars, more than 26 times what it was last year.
- Backlog Building
Orders waiting to ship grew to 27 million dollars, up from 21.8 million dollars a year ago. The Florida Forest Service just signed a 3.3 million dollar deal for the new BKR 9000 radio. Management raised full year earnings guidance to over 1.65 dollars per share, up from 1.50 dollars.
- Flat Top Line
Revenue this quarter was 20.2 million dollars, basically flat with last year. Profits are exploding, but the company is not actually selling more radios in dollar terms. If margins stop improving, growth has to come from somewhere new.
- Government Dependent
BK leans heavily on federal, state, and local agencies for sales. When budgets tighten or spending gets delayed, orders can slip. With a market value around 314 million dollars, even one big customer pushing out a purchase can swing a quarter.
