Analyst Hamed Khorsand of BWS Financial maintained a Buy rating on A10 Networks (ATEN – Research Report), with a price target of $15.00.
Hamed Khorsand has given his Buy rating due to a combination of factors surrounding A10 Networks’ recent performance and future prospects. Khorsand acknowledges that while A10 Networks had a turbulent year in 2023, the company’s ability to meet consensus estimates in the fourth quarter, following a third quarter that fell short, is viewed positively. This performance indicates a potential for the business to continue generating free cash flow, which is an attractive aspect for investors looking for stable returns.
The shift in A10 Networks’ customer base composition is also a significant element in this optimistic assessment. The company has historically relied heavily on service providers, which represented a smaller portion of their revenue in the third quarter of 2023 compared to previous years. However, the company’s strategy to diversify and increase its enterprise customer segment is expected to provide a more reliable revenue stream. Khorsand posits that the growth in enterprise customer acquisition is likely to create a more solid foundation for revenue growth going into 2024, which could help mitigate the volatility experienced with North American service providers.
