Cyborg Score Rationale
The Company reported earnings per share on a GAAP basis of $1.39 for the current quarter compared to a loss of $0.11 a year ago. The company executed the previously announced sale of the warehouse automation business, receiving $225.4 million in cash proceeds and generating a gain on the divestiture.
