In a report released yesterday, Darren Aftahi from Roth Capital maintained a Buy rating on Aspen Group Inc (ASPU), with a price target of $9.50. The company’s shares closed yesterday at $5.77.
Aftahi said:
“We believe 4Q (seasonally strongest) could facilitate this process and look for improving sequential revenue, but also operating leverage, which should manifest further in FY20 with the incremental ramp of USU and its pre- licensure program (with LTV’s multiples that of Aspen core). On the margin, 4Q could be an inflection point for growth/leverage. We think the next step for ASPU, now with a more stabilized financial position and appropriately set estimates, is for it to print a string of good quarters, showing the street its revenue and earning potential, now that it has solidified its balance sheet and investor expectations. Given 4Q is ASPU’s seasonally strongest quarter, we are optimistic it could be the beginning of the turning point for both revenue/profits, as well as its stock.”
