“Valuation and impediments to achieving price target. We maintain our Buy rating with a price target of $11. Our valuation is based on a discounted EBITDA model, which we believe takes into account both the established and anticipated revenue growth of Avid, which is the cornerstone of the company’s business. We assign a 23x multiple on F2023 EBIDTA discounted back at Avid’s WACC of 13%. We believe that Avid deserves a multiple premium compared to recent CDMO deals in North America, which were based on M&A transactions of mature business.”
