Oppenheimer Thinks Trimble Navigation Limited’s Stock is Going to Recover


Oppenheimer analyst Colin Rusch assigned a Buy rating to Trimble Navigation Limited (NASDAQ: TRMB) today and set a price target of $50. The company’s shares closed yesterday at $34.18, close to its 52-week low of $32.01.

Rusch commented:

“TRMB hosted a detailed analyst day highlighting how it has leveraged its history as a leading precision location and corrections technology provider into platform- level solutions provider for optimizing workflow in construction, agriculture, and transportation. We believe TRMB is well positioned to lead digitization and data-driven decision making in those end markets. As the company digests and integrates its largest acquisitions to date, we expect it to generate low double digit top-line growth over the next two years and then to return to a mix of organic and inorganic growth to maintain ~10% growth LT. With balanced end-market diversification and increasing software/recurring revenue mix, we believe TRMB’s historical cyclical exposure has been significantly mitigated. We remain buyers and reiterate our $50 price target.”
