Why Otter Tail Stock Was Down Today

Why Otter Tail Stock Was Down Today

Shares of Otter Tail (NASDAQ: OTTR) were sliding today after the utilities and manufacturing company posted better-than-expected results in its third-quarter earnings report but cut its guidance for the full year. Otter Tail said that revenue in the quarter jumped 21.3% to $383.9 million in part due to higher utility rates and materials prices. Sales were up at least 10% in all three of its business segments, with plastics recording the fastest growth at 32.4%, benefiting from the 57% rise in price per pound of PVC pipe.
