Sequans Communications reports second quarter revenue flat at $8.1 million
On Wednesday, Canaccord Genuity sustained its Buy rating and $26.00 price target for Intuitive Machines Inc. (NASDAQ:LUNR), a company whose stock has surged over 546% in the past six months according to InvestingPro data. The company announced its decision to redeem all outstanding warrants unexercised by 5:00 p.m. EST on March 6, 2025, aiming to simplify its capital structure and increase cash reserves for operations. Initially, upon going public, Intuitive Machines issued 23,332,500 warrants at an $11.50/share exercise price.
The redemption follows the condition that Intuitive Machines’ Class A Common Stock price exceeds $18.00/share for 20 trading days within a 30-day span, concluding three business days before the redemption notice. This prerequisite was fulfilled as of January 30, 2025. Currently, around 22 million warrants are outstanding, and if exercised, could yield over $250 million for the company. InvestingPro analysis shows the company maintains a healthy current ratio of 1.77, indicating strong short-term liquidity.
Canaccord’s analysis includes the potential dilution from warrant exercises, which would result in nearly 22 million new shares. If warrant holders buy shares at $11.50 each, this could bolster Intuitive Machines’ balance sheet by approximately $253 million, theoretically funding operations for an extended period based on the last twelve months’ burn rate.
However, the firm anticipates an increased burn rate as Intuitive Machines undertakes significant projects. These include the larger Nova-D lander for NASA’s VIPER rover lunar mission, with a proposal partnership announced on February 4, 2025, and responses due by March 3, 2025, as well as the deployment of the "Khonstellation" deep space relay satellites. Canaccord’s price target of $26 is based on a 7.9x EV/Revenue multiple applied to their 2025 revenue estimate of $475 million.
