Beamr video compression achieves up to 50% improvement for AVs
On Thursday, Deutsche Bank (ETR:DBKGn) analyst Thomas Elgar upgraded the rating of Rotork (LON:ROR) Plc., a company specializing in the manufacture of industrial flow control equipment, from Hold to Buy. Accompanying the upgrade, Elgar also increased the price target for Rotork shares from GBP 3.70 to GBP 4.05.
Elgar’s decision to revise the investment outlook for Rotork was influenced by the company’s recent performance and an optimistic view of the future market conditions. Over the past two years, Rotork has experienced a 21% forward earnings growth, which, according to Elgar, has not been properly reflected in the company’s share price, as evidenced by a 14% price-earnings ratio (PER) de-rating during the same period.
Rotork’s shares have been constrained within a certain range for more than a year, with investors seemingly waiting for a catalyst to reignite interest in the stock amidst a maturing oil and gas (O&G) cycle. Elgar pointed out that the absence of a clear catalyst might have contributed to the market’s lackluster response to Rotork’s growth potential.
In his report, Elgar identified five potential catalysts that could lead to a reevaluation of Rotork’s stock. These catalysts are expected to bolster investor confidence in the company’s Growth+ transformation strategy. With these factors in mind, the analyst expressed a more positive stance on the stock, leading to the upgraded Buy rating and a higher price target.
