Revised TargetsNot much chance of the $12.00 projection. GLTA
RBC Dominion Securities’ Geoffrey Kwan lowered his Alaris Equity Partners Income Trust target to $18 from $19 with a “sector perform” rating, while National Bank’s Zachary Evershed trimmed his target to $23 from $23.50 with an “outperform” rating. The average on the Street is $21.92. “Q1/23 results were neutral in our view as normalized EBITDA was slightly below our forecast,” Mr. Kwan said. “Overall portfolio health has weakened in the last few quarters coming off historical highs as Alaris’ weighted-average Earnings Coverage Ratio (ECR) declined to 1.6 times in Q1/23, down from the recent peak of 2.1 times in Q2/22 and at a level not seen in 3 years, but is at a level that is roughly in line with its historical average. Given the weaker macro environment and uncertainty on the degree of its impact on Alaris’ investment partners, we have a more cautious view on the shares, but acknowledge the company has done relatively well at navigating the past few years.”
