Mizuho Securities analyst Kristine Kubacki maintained a Hold rating on Wabash National Corp (WNC) today and set a price target of $16. The company’s shares opened today at $15.03.
Kubacki noted:
“We had a chance to attend WNC’s investor day in New York this week. After completing a transformational acquisition in 2017 (Supreme Industries) the company updated its 3-year financial targets and the strategy to get there. The level of demand in the trucking equipment space challenged WNC from a cost perspective in 2019 and WNC maintained the company will work through the issues in the near-term. The company is preparing for a moderation in the core dry van business over the next couple of years (albeit from a torrid pace in 2018). We believe investors expect a slowdown in this market and whether that happens in 2020 or 2021 we believe it’s reflected in the stock at this point. Unlike down-cycles past, WNC has a solid balance position and is generating robust cash flow. We are also impressed at how much the end-market exposure has changed over the last 7 years.”
According to TipRanks.com, Kubacki is a 3-star analyst with an average return of 6.4% and a 53.8% success rate. Kubacki covers the Industrial Goods sector, focusing on stocks such as Allison Transmission Holdings Inc, Trinity Industries, and Westinghouse Air.
