There’s a lot to be optimistic about in the Consumer Goods sector as 2 analysts just weighed in on Engility Holdings (NYSE:EGL) and Adesto Technologies Corp (NASDAQ:IOTS) with bullish sentiments.
Engility Holdings (EGL)
B.Riley FBR analyst Christopher Van Horn reiterated a Buy rating on Engility Holdings yesterday and set a price target of $38. The company’s shares opened today at $35.11, close to its 52-week high of $35.84.
Van Horn observed:
“We reiterate our Buy rating and 12-month price target of $38 on EGL shares. Our valuation is based on a DCF and reflects a FY19e EV/EBITDA multiple of 13.8x; for reference, a $40 takeout price would imply a ~14.3x FY19e EV/EBITDA multiple–we suspect this is likely the top end of what EGL could get in a sale.”
