AI Summary

TrimMedium

HDSN remains in a Stage 4 decline with a bearish medium-term bias. The recent capitulation pattern indicates forced selling is ending but does not confirm stabilization. Price is extended below key EMAs with extreme oversold conditions, making immediate sell-side engagement unadvisable. Execution should await a pullback into the 9/21 EMA zone and prior consolidation levels for clearer sell entries.

Transcript signals

Bull points

  • we are encouraged by the modest sales volume growth we experienced in the quarter
  • We believe the current phase down of HFC refrigerants provides a substantial long-term opportunity for the continued growth of our reclamation business as the supply of virgin HFCs begins to decline to meet the needs of the large installed base of HFC equipment.
  • We are pleased to have started 2025 with slightly improved sales volume in the first quarter, which is a promising start to this year's nine-month selling season.

Bear points

  • we did see a revenue decline as expected in the quarter to 55.3 million with gross margin of 22%, reflecting continued lower overall refrigerant market pricing as compared to the first quarter of last year, which offset our sales volume gains.
  • First quarter 2025, refrigerant pricing declined slightly as compared to the fourth quarter of 2024. And this year's first quarter pricing was approximately 40% lower than the first quarter of 2024.
  • At the close of the first quarter, pricing for certain HFCs was still under $6 per pound.
