Napco Security Technologies Shares Drop 17% as Equipment Sales Decline
Napco Security Technologies (NSSC) saw its shares fall approximately 17% following first-quarter results that showed a 7.3% decline in equipment revenue. The drop was primarily driven by two major locking distributors reducing their orders. While total revenue grew slightly by 1.7% to $50.0 million, the growth was supported by an 11.5% increase in high-margin recurring service revenue rather than hardware sales. Despite a reported rise in net income, the gain was largely attributed to a $1.0 million litigation credit. Excluding this credit, earnings per share remained flat at $0.34, and operating income fell by approximately 4% due to rising research and overhead costs. Investors are now monitoring whether equipment revenue will recover as distributor orders align with sell-through rates.
