David Koning, an analyst from Robert W. Baird, maintained the Buy rating on Thoughtworks Holding (TWKS – Research Report). The associated price target is $6.00.
David Koning’s Buy rating for Thoughtworks Holding is based on a nuanced understanding of the company’s recent financial restatements and the implications for its free cash flow. Koning recognizes that despite the discovery of a material inaccuracy in the company’s Q2/Q3 2023 cash flow statements, the correction actually results in an increase in operating cash flows and free cash flows by $14 million. This adjustment, while initially possibly causing the stock to trade down due to perceived uncertainty, suggests a stronger financial position than previously reported. He perceives the error, which involved misclassifying a payment related to an acquisition, as a one-time issue that the company is capable of addressing effectively.
Furthermore, Koning draws a parallel with a similar situation that occurred with another company, Verra Mobility, which not only recovered from a comparable financial reporting issue but also saw its stock reach near all-time highs subsequently. His optimism is bolstered by the expected increase in free cash flow per share by $0.04 for Q2 and for the year 2023. This leads him to believe that Thoughtworks’ stock has the potential to rally throughout the year, especially as demand for IT services remains robust. Koning’s recommendation is thus rooted in the anticipated resilience of the company’s financials and the prospect of recovery and growth in its stock value.
