In a report released today, Rajvindra Gill from Needham maintained a Buy rating on Smart Global Holdings Inc (NASDAQ: SGH), with a price target of $75. The company’s shares closed yesterday at $30.25, close to its 52-week low of $26.26.
Gill observed:
“This week, we hosted a series of investor meetings in New York with CEO Ajay Shah and CFO Jack Pacheco. Ultimately, we like stories where there’s a material disconnect between the fundamentals and investor perception. Smart Global fits the bill perfectly. We believe the stock’s P/E multiple of 4.5x, EV/ sales multiple of 0.6x, and EV/EBITDA multiple of 3.9x, all based on our FY19E estimates, significantly undervalue the potential earnings power of the company and its competitive positioning. We think comparisons to pure-play memory suppliers, such as Micron or Samsung, are misguided. First and foremost, SGH is a system and memory integrator, targeting specific applications, that operates with a low CapEx model and no wafer fabs (CapEx is 3% of sales vs MU’s 30%).”
According to TipRanks.com, Gill is a 5-star analyst with an average return of 15.3% and a 56.1% success rate. Gill covers the Consumer Goods sector, focusing on stocks such as Everspin Technologies Inc, Adesto Technologies Corp, and Silicon Laboratories.
