Rollins Remains Dominant Pest Player

ROL is a leading pest control service provider. It is a global player, serving almost 3 million customers in North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa, and Australia. ROL’s brands include Orkin, Trutech, PermaTreat, and more. The bulk of the company’s almost $26 billion market capitalization is generated in the U.S. and Canada, and it’s looking to keep growing as the company has been a longtime acquirer within the industry.

As for its finances, Rollins’s fourth-quarter fiscal 2024 financial report showed $832 million in quarterly revenue, beating expectations and marking a 10.4% year-over-year jump. Adjusted per-share earnings were $0.23 diluted, which was a 9.5% rise from the prior year. For the full year, ROL reported $3.4 billion in revenue, which was 10.3% more than in 2023. Plus, the company reported $184 million in free cash flow for the quarter, which could be more growth fuel.

It’s no wonder ROL shares have gained 21% this year – and they could grow more. Based on MAPsignals data, investors are betting heavily on the forward picture of the stock.
