Analysts’ Top Consumer Goods Picks: Maxar Technologies Ltd (MAXR), Yield10 Bioscience Inc (YTEN)


There’s a lot to be optimistic about in the Consumer Goods sector as 2 analysts just weighed in on Maxar Technologies Ltd (NYSE:MAXR) and Yield10 Bioscience Inc (NASDAQ:YTEN) with bullish sentiments.

Maxar Technologies Ltd (MAXR)

Canaccord Genuity analyst Doug Taylor maintained a Buy rating on Maxar Technologies Ltd today and set a price target of $70. The company’s shares opened today at $29.48, close to its 52-week low of $28.77.

Taylor wrote:

“Yesterday, the NGA issued a release confirming the transition of the key EnhancedView contract to the NRO, and alongside it an extension of the current agreement by at least one year at a comparable revenue run-rate. Note that the status of Maxar and DigitalGlobe’s ongoing relationship with the US government is one of a number of concerns plaguing the stock. While this news does not alleviate it altogether, the language used by these agencies supports the ongoing and increasing importance of DigitalGlobe’s data. A longer extension of this agreement ahead of the 2020 expiry of the initial agreement we think would prove a potentially significant catalyst for the stock. We continue to rate Maxar a BUY as we believe that an improving cash flow conversion profile and better general growth outlook in the coming years will warrant a re-inflation of its multiple relative to peers.”

According to TipRanks.com, Taylor is ranked #1352 out of 4872 analysts.

Currently, the analyst consensus on Maxar Technologies Ltd is a Strong Buy with an average price target of $69.33.
