DA Davidson reiterates Buy rating on Lakeland Industries stock

Investing.com - DA Davidson has reiterated its Buy rating and $23.00 price target on Lakeland Industries (NASDAQ:LAKE) following investor meetings with company management. Currently trading at $13.78, the stock has seen a significant decline of nearly 48% over the past six months, according to InvestingPro data.

The research firm hosted meetings between investors and Lakeland management, including CEO Jim Jenkins and CFO Roger Shannon, reporting "largely positive" takeaways from the discussions.

DA Davidson noted management expressed "considerable confidence" in their goal to triple EBITDA within 3-5 years, alongside achieving revenue growth at a compound annual growth rate exceeding 10%.

The firm identified NFPA certification of Jolly boots as a potential near-term catalyst, which would finally allow Lakeland to offer a complete head-to-toe product package in the U.S. market.

Management also conveyed confidence regarding minimal PFAS liabilities and discussed the impact of expanding into the services and rentals channel, according to the research note.

In other recent news, Lakeland Industries has reported a 29% year-over-year increase in revenue for Q1 2025, reaching $46.7 million.

The company also announced its inclusion in the Russell 3000 and 2000 indexes, which is part of FTSE Russell’s annual reconstitution process.
