SouthernSun Small Cap Strategy stated the following regarding The Brink’s Company (NYSE:BCO) in its third quarter 2025 investor letter:
"The Brink’s Company (NYSE:BCO) was the top contributor in the Small Cap strategy during the third quarter. BCO, a leading global provider of cash and valuables management, digital retail solutions (DRS), and ATM managed services (AMS), was a top contributor for the quarter. In the second quarter, the company delivered 16% organic growth in AMS and DRS while continuing to stimulate customer demand for outsourcing with financial institutions and convert whitespace opportunities in retail. These higher-margin, recurring revenue businesses now represent over 25% of total company revenue and are expected to continue delivering double digit organic growth for the foreseeable future. Free cash flow continues to improve with over $100 million generated in the quarter on EBITDA growth, continued capital efficiency and strong working capital performance. In addition, management has been disciplined and opportunistic with capital deployment – buying back $130mm in stock year to date with $85mm of that coming in 2q. We believe the current price affords share owners a nice opportunity to compound double digit returns over our investment time horizon with a strong balance sheet providing a backdrop for cash flow growth and a predictable and effective capital allocation strategy."
