• 2. TD Securities analysts commented, "We have only trimmed our estimates, but highlight that the large number of earnings adjustments, and minimal guidance regarding the IronPlanet deal’s expected EPS accretion increase forecasting risk, in our view. We have a positive view of Ritchie Bros.’ franchise, which should be enhanced by the IronPlanet acquisition; however, we are concerned that, after benefiting from significant de-fleeting activity in 2015/2016 following the commodity price collapse, Ritchie Bros. (and likely also IronPlanet) now faces a growth headwind as equipment supply/demand has become more balanced. 45 45 40 40 35 35 30 30 25 25 20 20 May-17 Mar-17 Jan-17 Nov-16 Sep-16 Jul-16 RBA-N: Price Company Profile Ritchie Bros."
