Stryker shares tumble despite strong Q2 results and raised guidance
On Thursday, Barclays (LON:BARC) analyst Tim Long adjusted the price target for TD Synnex (NYSE:SNX), an $8.99 billion market cap company, to $125 from the previous $148, while maintaining an Equalweight rating on the stock. According to InvestingPro analysis, the stock appears to be trading below its Fair Value, suggesting potential upside opportunity. Long noted that Meta Platforms Inc. (NASDAQ:META) is experiencing component shipment delays into the second fiscal quarter, which may include hard disk drive (HDD) shipment delays, paralleling remarks from Seagate Technology (STX) and Western Digital Corporation (NASDAQ:WDC). The lower demand is possibly connected to Oracle Corporation (NYSE:ORCL), potentially due to a realignment of ORCL’s demand forecast or decreased non-AI demand for ORCL products.
TD Synnex is seen as well-positioned for recovery in IT spending, with its Hyve asset, which is tied to AI infrastructure development and has a broader geographic reach compared to smaller distributors and value-added resellers (VARs). With a "GOOD" Financial Health Score from InvestingPro, the company demonstrates solid fundamentals. However, Long anticipates that the near-term potential for significant stock appreciation is limited due to uncertainties in IT spending recovery, trade policy, Hyve demand in the short term, and potential government spending reductions.
The analyst pointed out that TD Synnex is currently trading at a price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of 8 times based on the forecasted earnings per share (EPS) for fiscal year 2025, compared to its recent historical average of 9 times and Ingram Micro, which is trading at 7 times P/E but is not covered by Barclays. Long suggests that a clearer picture of enterprise spending improvements would provide a more supportive environment for the stock.
More detailed insights into the company’s fiscal year 2025 guidance are anticipated at the upcoming analyst day in April, as stakeholders seek greater transparency into the factors influencing TD Synnex’s performance.
