Actionable Insight ▲ Bullish

The strong Q2 beat and Q3 guidance above consensus suggest upward EPS estimate revisions. With $204M cash, zero debt, and a $15M buyback authorization remaining, the company has ample capital flexibility. Monitor the Q3 earnings call for updates on RSCG consignment growth trajectory and GovDeals real estate pipeline, which could drive further upside.
