Andrew Harte has given his Buy rating due to a combination of factors. Firstly, the strategic review process at Lightspeed POS Inc. has already seen a significant reduction in the stock’s premium, which limits the potential downside if the company decides to remain public. This strategic clarity is seen as beneficial, especially following the stock’s recent decline.
Moreover, Andrew Harte highlights the expected acceleration in software growth for the upcoming quarter. The focus on subscription revenue growth, particularly given the company’s strategic refocus on its sales teams, is anticipated to boost investor confidence. Additionally, Lightspeed’s valuation multiples appear attractive compared to its peers, with potential for profitability expansion. If the company can demonstrate market share gains and strong subscription growth, it could significantly enhance its valuation, supporting the Buy rating.
In another report released on January 29, CIBC also maintained a Buy rating on the stock with a C$35.00 price target.
