Recent Updates on ACNT stock
In the last 24 hours, Ascent Industries has seen significant developments, primarily driven by its recent Q4 earnings report and strategic initiatives. The company announced a definitive agreement to sell the assets of Bristol Metals, LLC for $45 million, which is expected to close by March 2025. Ascent’s Q4 earnings call highlighted substantial financial improvements, including a 125% year-over-year increase in adjusted EBITDA and a 1,349% rise in gross profit, reflecting strong operational efficiency. Despite a decrease in net sales by 7.9% due to soft demand, the company maintained profitability through aggressive cost management and product line optimization.
