Chardan Capital analyst James McIlree reiterated a Buy rating on Vuzix Corporation (VUZI) today and set a price target of $10. The company’s shares closed yesterday at $3.52.
McIlree wrote:
“We believe that the coming months are critical for the company. Expectations are for a significant acceleration in revenue in the second half as the M series moves from pilots to production deployments and the initial volumes of the Blade becomes a meaningful contributor. However, Vuzix faces competition from Google, which announced a second-gen product that uses an MSRP of $999. Google Glass will be priced at parity to the a significant discount to the M400 list price of $1500, which is scheduled for volume production this summer. Apple is also rumored to be entering the market in the next 24 months.”
McIlree has an average return of 5.8% when recommending Vuzix Corporation.
According to TipRanks.com, McIlree is ranked #3806 out of 5223 analysts.
