Baird maintains an 'Outperform' on Liquidity Services (NASDAQ: LQDT) price target of $66.00.

Analyst, Colin Sebastian, said, "Government data is typically lumpy - sequential decline might be interpreted negatively. In terms of segment breakdown, government Surplus volume declined 15% sequentially in June, but increased 38% year-over-year. Scrap volume declined 13% sequentially and 21% year-over-year, with the overall Dept of Defense (DoD) business declining 15% sequentially and increasing 9% year-over-year. Importantly, the government business tends to be lumpy, and based on historical trends, we advise investors not to interpret a one-month decline as a red flag."
