Oppenheimer Sticks to Its Buy Rating for Endurance International


Oppenheimer analyst Jason Helfstein maintained a Buy rating on Endurance International (NASDAQ: EIGI) today and set a price target of $9. The company’s shares closed yesterday at $7.55.

Helfstein said:

“We’re maintaining our Outperform rating and $9 price target after EIGI reported better 1Q18 results on margins, but maintained FY guidance. Revenue -1% y/y vs. +1% in 4Q17, with growth in email marketing offset by declines in web presence. Management’s focus on streamlining costs resulted in COGS down q/q, while opex was only up $1M q/q. We expect some of the COGS savings to be redeployed into R&D in the next few quarters. EIGI is providing a detailed segment breakdown, so investors can look at relative subscriber vs. pricing trends, with emailed expected to remain stable vs. near-term declines in web presence on shift away from low-LTV subs. While turnaround will take several more quarters, the stock is trading at 9x current year FCF/share. Our $9 target assumes 11x ’18E FCF/share.”
