CHICAGO, IL / ACCESS Newswire / August 5, 2025 / Kingsway Financial Services Inc. (NYSE:KFS) ("Kingsway" or the "Company"), the only publicly-traded US company employing the Search Fund model to acquire and build great businesses, today announced the acquisition of AAA Flexible Pipe Cleaning Corp ("Advanced Plumbing and Drain"), a leading commercial and residential plumbing services business located in Cleveland, Ohio. Advanced Plumbing and Drain is the second business operated under the Kingsway Skilled Trades platform.

Advanced Plumbing and Drain is one of the top commercial plumbing services companies in the Cleveland, Ohio metropolitan service area.

Kingsway believes Advanced Plumbing and Drain has significant opportunity for both revenue and profit growth, and Kingsway intends to accelerate investment in people, service lines, and marketing.

The transaction closed on August 1, 2025. The purchase price included $3.0 million cash at close, a $0.5 million seller note due in 2030, and a potential earn-out of up to $1.5 million based on growth in adjusted EBITDA that is payable in 2027 and 2028. Kingsway is also responsible for certain closing fees and expenses.

Management will provide additional details about the acquisition during the company's second quarter 2025 earnings call. Rob Casper, President of Kingsway Skilled Trades, sourced and led the transaction for Kingsway.

Solarbranche vor dem Mega-Comeback?
Lange galten Solaraktien als Liebling der Börse, dann kam der herbe Absturz: Zinsschock, Überkapazitäten aus China und ein Preisverfall, der selbst Marktführer wie SMA Solar, Enphase Energy oder SolarEdge massiv unter Druck setzte. Viele Anleger haben der Branche längst den Rücken gekehrt.

Doch genau das könnte jetzt die Chance sein!

Gleichzeitig locken viele Solar-Aktien mit historischen Tiefstständen und massiven Short-Quoten, ein perfekter Nährboden für Kursrebound und Squeeze-Rally.

In unserem exklusiven Gratis-Report zeigen wir dir, welche 4 Solar-Aktien besonders vom Comeback profitieren dürften und warum jetzt der perfekte Zeitpunkt für einen Einstieg sein könnte.
