Daseke Inc (DSKE) Gets a Buy Rating from Northland Securities


In a report released today, Greg Gibas from Northland Securities initiated coverage with a Buy rating on Daseke Inc (DSKE) and a price target of $8.50. The company’s shares closed yesterday at $5.14.

Gibas said:

“We are assuming coverage of DSKE with an Outperform rating and a lower $8.50 price target. We believe DSKE’s growing network of operators with long-term blue chip customer relationships across a diverse set of end markets will continue to provide a solid foundation for sustainable growth going forward. We also expect the company’s disciplined acquisition strategy to support long-term benefits of scale. Key Points DSKE’s better than expected Q1:19 results featured 32% revenue growth (7% organic) and 24% EBITDA growth (5% organic), primarily resulting from strength in the Specialized segment which benefited from 35% growth in rate per mile and 13% growth in revenue per tractor. We expect continued strength from many large-scale capital projects including wind energy to support solid performance in the Specialized segment going forward.”

According to TipRanks.com, Gibas is ranked #4285 out of 5178 analysts.
