Tonix Pharmaceuticals stock halted ahead of FDA approval news
Investing.com - DA Davidson has reiterated its Neutral rating on Hillenbrand (NYSE:HI) stock, maintaining a $24.00 price target. According to InvestingPro data, the company appears undervalued at its current price of $25.96, with a strong dividend history of 17 consecutive years of increases.
The research firm slightly raised its fiscal year 2025 estimates while keeping fiscal year 2026 projections unchanged, citing a mixed demand environment across both the Advanced Process Solutions (APS) and Molding Technology Solutions (MTS) segments.
DA Davidson noted some recent order strength within the APS segment during July, indicating potential improvement in that business unit.
Balance sheet leverage remains a key concern for the firm, with the leverage ratio likely approaching 4.0x by fiscal year end based on current models and Hillenbrand’s reduced free cash flow projection.
The firm acknowledged that debt reduction remains Hillenbrand’s top priority, though excess cash after dividends is expected to remain negative in fiscal year 2025.
