First Berlin Equity Research hat ein Research Update zu urban-gro, Inc. (ISIN: US91704K2024) veröffentlicht. Analyst Ellis Acklin bestätigt seine BUY-Empfehlung und senkt das Kursziel von USD 4,70 auf USD 4,30.
Zusammenfassung:
Trotz eines erheblichen Umsatz- und EBITDA-Rückgangs in Q4 behalten wir
unsere Kaufempfehlung für UGRO bei. Das vierte Quartal war reines Pech, als
drei kommerzielle Projekte, die bis JE23 fertiggestellt werden sollten, in
das Jahr 2024 verschoben wurden. Die Anleger reagierten auf die Nachricht
mit Verkäufen, aber wir sind der Meinung, dass sich der drastische
Aktienkursrückgang bereits bei der Q1-Berichterstattung als Überreaktion
erweisen könnte. Das Management von UGRO betonte, dass die Projekte nicht
verloren seien und in Q1 wieder aktiv waren, während es gleichzeitig
bekräftigt hat, dass das Unternehmen 2024 ein schwarzes AEBITDA erreichen
will. Die erste Guidance für 2024 unterstreicht die Notwendigkeit,
konservativ zu sein und die Glaubwürdigkeit bei den Investoren
wiederherzustellen. In der Zwischenzeit bleiben auch potenzielle
legislative Katalysatoren für amerikanisches Cannabis im Spiel. Nach
Anpassung unserer Prognosen für den Jahresbericht 2023 ist unser Kursziel
nun $4,30 (zuvor: $4,70).

Abstract:
We are staying Buy-rated on UGRO, despite a substantial Q4 topline and
EBITDA miss. The company was snake-bitten in Q4, when three commercial
projects slated for YE completion pushed into 2024. Investors hit the bid
on the shortfall, but we think the sharp stock recoil may prove to be an
overreaction as soon as Q1 reporting. UGRO brass emphasised that the
projects were not lost and were active in Q1, while also recommitting to
achieve a black AEBITDA in 2024. The initial 2024 guide underpins the need
to be conservative and restore credibility with investors. Meanwhile,
potential legislative catalysts for American cannabis also remain in play.
Our TP moves to $4.3 (old: $4.7) after recalibrating FBe on 2023 reporting.
