Patterson Posts Mixed 4Q Results Alongside Tepid Fiscal 2020 Guidance
Patterson reported mixed fiscal 2019 fourth-quarter results. We may slightly reduce our fair value estimate as we incorporate management's lower-than-expected 2020 guidance, and we are leaving our no-moat rating intact. Management issued fiscal 2020 adjusted EPS guidance of $1.33-$1.43 which is slightly below our prior estimate of $1.47. While we are encouraged by Patterson's continued efforts to manage costs, we remain concerned about long-term dental headwinds.Patterson's dental business held...
