Analyst Yuan Zhi of B.Riley Financial reiterated a Buy rating on Azenta (AZTA – Research Report), with a price target of $61.00.
Yuan Zhi’s Buy rating for Azenta, Inc. (AZTA) is grounded on a combination of factors that indicate strong future performance. Firstly, AZTA’s financial performance exceeded expectations, with both top line and adjusted EBITDA numbers surpassing estimates. Moreover, the company demonstrated strong Q/Q growth in F4Q, whilst maintaining an upward trajectory for FY24, supported by a positive cash flow. This robust performance is further buoyed by management’s optimistic FY24 revenue guidance, indicating an organic growth of 5%-8%.
Secondly, Zhi highlights the diversified growth across AZTA’s business segments, such as Multiomics, Sample Management Solutions, and B Med. This growth, combined with the anticipated recovery of C&I in 2H24, strengthens the company’s positive outlook. The signing of an MOU between B Med and DRC’s Ministry of Public Health for a substantial National Vaccination service project further solidifies AZTA’s top-line growth prospects. Finally, Zhi notes AZTA’s continued commitment to share buybacks in 2024, which should support the stock, and the strategic transformation at AZTA, including the expansion of its life sciences business, demonstrating alignment with shareholder interests.
