Oppenheimer analyst Colin Rusch maintained a Buy rating on Ideal Power (NASDAQ: IPWR) today and set a price target of $4. The company’s shares opened today at $0.72, close to its 52-week low of $0.65.
Rusch commented:
“IPWR posted in-line revenue but better than expected EPS and cash burn for 2Q:18 while making material progress in commercializing its B-TRAN technology. We continue to see the B-TRAN technology as the key driver of share value over the medium and long term, but recognize the energy storage business is nearing an inflection point given the large energy-storage pipeline project that is slated to move forward over the next 24 months. With limited overhead, we believe the company is well positioned to see significant operating leverage and better than expected cash flow, especially if the PPSA offering is more broadly adopted for EV charging. We remain constructive on the potential for such earnings leverage as well as the potential for a licensing agreement for B-TRAN.”
