Decisive Dividend Corp (DE-X)

He was in on the IPO a few years ago. Wood-burning stoves is a large business for them, plus agriculture and some industrial. They acquire and integrate small businesses in order to lead the market. It pays a high dividend. During Covid, business in some parts spiked, but after Covid, their YOY comparables looked like an overall fall-off. The stock hasn't done well since. He sold most of his shares before that downturn. The CEO plans to aggressively buy more companies, but it hasn't happened yet. The dividend is safe, but look elsewhere.

Pretty well run, but had a bad quarter, stock sold off. Anticipates another bad quarter, and then good news. Lots of cash, just have to synchronize their lumpy businesses. Yield is 7%, but don't be worried. If you own it, hold. If not, let the next quarter come through and assess guidance.
