NEW YORK -- In Thursday’s session, Liquidity Services Inc (NASDAQ:LQDT) traded down nearly 13.50% on volume significantly higher than its average.  

Liquidity reported a 52% rise in sales for its fiscal Q4 ended Sept. 30, to $122.3 million. It said per-share profit minus items doubled from its 2011 Q4  to 40 cents. Analysts polled by Thomson Reuters were expecting 37 cents on sales of $114.6 million.  However the company does anticipate that its recent acquisitions will eat into its bottom line for at least the next year.  With that the company predicted its 2013 EPS of $2.05 to $2.23. The midpoint of that range was below the Street's expectations for $2.20. The stock has dropped below its 50-day moving average to levels last seen in February.
