Orbcomm Inc (ORBC)

Walkley said:

“We believe adjusted EBITDA margins will continue to improve over the next several quarters due to the completed deployment of JB Hunt combined with an increasing mix of the the cost-down versions of key hardware SKUs. We believe ORBCOMM has a strong pipeline of opportunities to support management guidance of 350-400K net subscriber additions in 2018. Further, we anticipate a growing subscriber base, completion of negative margin JB Hunt installations, and growing scale for newly acquired platforms such as inthinc and Blue Tree will contribute to expanding services gross margin throughout 2018 and beyond. These trends should contribute to strong adjusted EBITDA margins exiting 2018, positioning the company for strong long-term cash flow generation. We reiterate our BUY rating and $15 price target.”
