Cantor Fitzgerald sets Galaxy Digital stock at overweight

On Wednesday, Cantor Fitzgerald initiated coverage on Galaxy Digital Holdings Ltd (TSX:GLXY:CN) (OTC: BRPHF), assigning an Overweight rating to the company’s stock with a price target of Cdn$44.00. Currently trading at $19.80 with a market capitalization of $2.44 billion, InvestingPro analysis suggests the stock is trading below its Fair Value, supporting Cantor’s bullish stance. The firm’s analyst highlighted Galaxy Digital’s focus on the digital asset ecosystem, which includes Galaxy Asset Management (GAM) with $5.7 billion in assets under management, Galaxy Global Markets (GGM) offering trading and investment banking services, and Galaxy Digital Infrastructure Solutions (GDIS) that encompasses Bitcoin mining and data center infrastructure. The company maintains strong financial health, earning a GREAT rating from InvestingPro, with current assets 1.85 times its short-term obligations.

The analyst expressed confidence in the long-term growth of digital assets within investment portfolios, positioning Galaxy Digital as a beneficial player in the increasing adoption and value of digital assets. The analyst anticipates that the current crypto bull market will persist until mid-2026, followed by a pullback entering 2027. Galaxy Digital is expected to experience substantial growth in assets under management and trading revenue in the coming quarters. This outlook is supported by the company’s impressive performance, with a 156% return over the past year and an attractive P/E ratio of 5.75.

The company’s investment vehicles, ownership stakes in protocols and projects, and a net long position in digital assets are seen as key factors that will contribute to its success. The analyst underlined the potential for multiple growth drivers and catalysts that make Galaxy Digital’s shares appealing at their current price levels.

The Overweight rating suggests that Cantor Fitzgerald views Galaxy Digital’s stock as likely to outperform the average return of the stocks the analyst covers over the next 12 to 18 months. The price target of Cdn$44.00 reflects the firm’s confidence in Galaxy Digital’s future performance within the digital asset industry.
