Goldman Sachs assumes Neutral rating on Boyd Group stock

On Tuesday, Goldman Sachs analysts assumed coverage of Boyd Group Services Inc (TSX:BYD) (OTC:BYDGF), assigning a Neutral rating to the stock. The analysts set a price target of Cdn$231.00, indicating a cautious outlook on the company’s performance in the near term.

The analysts cited their expectation that same-store sales trends for Boyd Group are not likely to improve significantly in the immediate future. They noted that while significant declines are not anticipated, the pace of improvement is expected to remain gradual. This assessment underlies the Neutral rating, which reflects a balanced view on the company’s current trajectory.

The report from Goldman Sachs highlighted that a material re-rating of the stock’s multiple is not expected until Boyd Group demonstrates a return to a mid-single-digit growth rate. This suggests that investors may need to wait for clearer signs of growth before any significant changes in valuation occur.

Additionally, the analysts mentioned their intention to monitor alternative data trends, such as visitation data from Placer.ai, to gauge potential shifts in demand for Boyd Group’s services. This approach indicates a focus on emerging data sources to better understand market dynamics.

Boyd Group Services Inc operates in the automotive repair industry, and its stock is traded on both the Toronto Stock Exchange and over-the-counter markets in the United States.
