“We expect continued growth going forward, as Ladenburg leverages its significant scale and capitalizes on further consolidation opportunities. LTS should also benefit from operating leverage, through defined margin improvement initiatives, and enhanced productivity, through its practice management program and unified technology program. As such, we are reiterating our OUTPERFORM investment rating, despite the sell-off, and our 12-month price target of $4.75, suggesting nearly a double from current levels, which assumes a 0.8x multiple on our 2019 revenue estimate and a 2.1x multiple on book value.”
