DMC Global posts 14 percent YoY revenue hike

BROOMFIELD  — DMC Global Inc. (Nasdaq: BOOM) shares jumped more than 20 percent in early trading Friday after the oil and gas metalworking company posted third quarter results.

The Broomfield company posted $100.09 million in sales for its previous three months ending Sept. 30, a 10 percent decrease from Q2 but an increase of 14 percent over Q3 last year. That figure beat the Wall Street consensus estimate by $460,000, according to data compiled by Seeking Alpha.

In particular, DMC’s DynaEnergetics division saw sales climb 16.7 percent year-over-year to $77.3 million, which it attributed to a spike in unconventional oil well openings. DynaEnergenics makes equipment that punches channels through well walls to access oil pools.
