The Descartes Systems Group (DSGX – Research Report), the Technology sector company, was revisited by a Wall Street analyst today. Analyst Scott Group from Wolfe Research upgraded the rating on the stock to a Buy and gave it a $95.00 price target.
Scott Group of Wolfe Research upgraded The Descartes Systems Group (DSGX) to a Buy rating after a comprehensive analysis of the company’s financial performance and market position. This upgrade was influenced by the company’s impressive track record of 18 consecutive years of at least 15% EBITDA growth. Despite the stock being stagnant since mid-2021 due to rising interest rates impacting high-multiple stocks, Scott Group anticipates that with interest rates reaching their peak, the valuation risk for DSGX will diminish. They expect the company to resume its growth trajectory, supported by multi-year earnings growth, which is reflected in their introduction of a year-end 2024 target price of $95.
The decision to rate DSGX as a Buy is also rooted in the company’s robust business model characterized by high gross margins exceeding 75%, EBITDA margins around 45%, and an impressive cash conversion rate of 80%-90%. DSGX has sustained growth through strategic acquisitions and increasing demand for supply chain software, which has led to an acceleration in organic growth post-pandemic. Furthermore, the recent 19% year-over-year sales increase and positive inflection in EBITDA margins indicate a strong momentum that is expected to carry into the future. Scott Group also notes that DSGX is trading at a discount compared to other SaaS companies, suggesting an attractive investment opportunity. Despite these positive indicators, Scott Group acknowledges potential risks, including persistent high interest rates and challenges in the freight industry affecting transactional revenue.
