Stock price when the opinion was issued
DNTL is still getting into its acquisition and roll-out strategy, and currently trades at an OK valuation.
The company has a strong equity position of $1.8 billion on a $1.6B market cap, although $2.1B of its assets are in goodwill, which can change quickly if an impairment charge takes place.
Revenue growth has been averaging in the 20%+ range, and it generates positive free cash flows which is mostly puts towards acquisitions.
We would like to see the company maintain or grow its current sales growth rates, and increase its profitability before stepping in here, but largely the company is on a decent trajectory.

Over time, expects it to be acquired by a big US player. Has been quite diligent not overpaying for acquisitions. Difficult to buy as many practices as they'd like. Pretty well run. Margins can increase step by step over time. Doesn't expect any big transformational news. Leverage is too elevated for his liking. Stable, predictable business.
