Aeluma stock rating reiterated at Buy by Benchmark on strong momentum

Investing.com - Benchmark has reiterated its Buy rating and $25.00 price target on Aeluma (NASDAQ:ALMU) following the company’s recent capital raise that added $23.4 million to its balance sheet. According to InvestingPro data, ALMU is currently trading at $18.27, with analyst targets ranging from $20 to $25, suggesting potential upside.

The capital infusion brings Aeluma’s total cash position to approximately $38 million, providing flexibility to invest in scaling manufacturing partnerships, engineering talent, and working capital requirements for volume production. InvestingPro analysis shows the company holds more cash than debt and has delivered an impressive 523% return over the past year.

Benchmark noted that while no design win announcement appears imminent, the firm is encouraged by strengthening momentum in customer activity, which is outpacing Aeluma’s prior expectations, particularly in the defense and data center interconnect markets.

The company currently has over 20 active program engagements ongoing with customer interest continuing to increase, according to Benchmark’s assessment.

Aeluma is accelerating its commercialization efforts in direct response to the inflecting customer interest, with opportunities emerging across multiple end markets.
