While ARC Document Solutions (NYSE:ARC)
has reported three straight years of higher free cash flow, the
underlying performance trends in the business haven't been as
encouraging. It doesn't seem to be leveraging a better commercial
construction environment, and it looks as though the company is likely
to struggle to make a real dent in the managed print services
opportunity. While archiving has been growing for ARC, I believe the
company is going to have a hard time making real competitive inroads
into this market.
It's tempting to say that the worst is over. The shares have bounced
off their low, the short interest is pretty small, commercial
construction activity looks okay, and the shares seem to trade at low
multiples to book, EBITDA, and revenue. That said, I'm concerned that
the company is going to continue to struggle to find real traction with
its projected growth drivers, and I don't see enough evidence yet to be
very positive on this name as a dumpster-diving candidate.
