    Doug Taylor's questions to ZEDCOR (ZDCAF) leadership

    Doug Taylor's questions to ZEDCOR (ZDCAF) leadership • Q4 2024

    Question

    Questioned the drivers behind the strong demand profile, particularly from homebuilders, and inquired about the company's pricing power and strategy in the current environment.

    Answer

    The company explained that demand from homebuilders is often counter-cyclical, driven by the need to secure unsold inventory. The broader shift from security guards to towers is due to the higher effectiveness and value of their solution, not just labor shortages. Regarding pricing, their strategy is to first demonstrate value to the customer before seeking price increases, rather than using external factors like tariffs as a justification.
