Live Ventures Inc (NASDAQ: LIVE) is a diversified holding company focused on acquiring and managing profitable, stable, and growing companies across various industries. Established in 1968 as Nuclear Corporation of New Mexico, the company has undergone significant transformations, including a rebranding from LiveDeal, Inc. in 2011 under the strategic leadership of CEO Jon Isaac.
Live Ventures' core business segments include:
- Retail: This segment involves direct sales of entertainment products, appliances, and services through its subsidiary Vintage Stock, which operates 72 retail stores and a comprehensive e-commerce platform.
- Flooring Manufacturing: The company produces carpets, rugs, and yarn products, and resells hard surface flooring products through brands under Harris Flooring Group.

Recent achievements include the strategic acquisitions of Flooring Liquidators and Precision Metal Works, significantly boosting revenue. In the fiscal first quarter of 2024, Live Ventures reported a 70.5% increase in revenue, driven primarily by these acquisitions. However, the company faced challenges with lower profit margins and higher administrative expenses, resulting in a net loss of approximately $0.7 million for the quarter.
Live Ventures continues to execute its 'buy-build-hold' strategy, aiming for long-term value creation through disciplined acquisitions and operational improvements. The company maintains strong relationships with high-profile customers, particularly in the data and telecommunications sectors, positioning itself for sustained growth despite industry-specific pressures.
