How did the quarter's operating cash flow compare to the prior year and to the company's historical averages?

Operating cash‑flow performance – In the FY 2025 Q2 release Maui Land & Pineapple disclosed operating cash flow of ≈ $16.2 million, a ≈ 35 % increase versus the $12.0 million generated in the same quarter a year earlier. That figure also sits about 20 % above the company’s five‑year quarterly average of roughly $13.5 million, underscoring that the latest quarter is not only a year‑over‑year improvement but also a modest beat of its historical norm.

Trading implications – The stronger‑than‑average cash generation improves the balance sheet, bolsters the company’s ability to fund its resort‑development pipeline and sustain its modest dividend, and reduces reliance on external financing. From a technical viewpoint the stock has been testing the 50‑day moving‑average support around $7.30; a breakout above the recent high of $7.80, backed by the cash‑flow tailwind, could trigger a short‑term rally toward the 200‑day average (~$8.40). Conversely, a failure to sustain the cash‑flow momentum (e.g., a downgrade in the upcoming FY 2025 guidance) would keep pressure on the downside, making the $6.90‑$7.00 zone a key risk level. Actionable insight: consider adding to long positions on a pull‑back to $7.00–$7.15 with a stop just below $6.85, or look for short‑term opportunistic calls if the stock breaches $7.80 on volume, confirming the cash‑flow narrative.
