Nucor earnings beat by $0.08, revenue fell short of estimates
On Tuesday, Intellicheck Inc. (NASDAQ:IDN) shares surged 19.6%, outperforming the Russell 2000’s marginal gain of 0.1%. The stock, which has already delivered an impressive 41.43% return year-to-date and currently commands a market capitalization of $78.47 million, is trading above its InvestingPro Fair Value. This increase came in the wake of a significant contract announcement with a large regional bank, which was disclosed before the market opened. The contract is seen as a substantial expansion of Intellicheck’s business with the customer and a validation of the company’s strategy to diversify beyond its legacy retail focus. The company maintains strong financial health with a current ratio of 1.95, indicating ample liquidity to meet its short-term obligations.
H.C. Wainwright analyst Scott Buck has responded to this development by raising the price target on Intellicheck stock to $6.00 from $4.00, while maintaining a Buy rating. Buck highlighted the company’s shift towards new verticals, such as mortgage title, background checks, and automotive, which are expected to contribute to revenue growth in the upcoming quarters.
Intellicheck anticipates the new contract will start contributing additional revenue from the third quarter of 2025, with expectations of revenue increasing over time. Buck noted that this contract could set a precedent for the company’s capabilities and pricing, potentially leading to more significant contracts in the future.
The analyst also pointed out that, despite the positive news, no adjustments have been made to their revenue model at this time. However, Buck anticipates that the recent announcement will likely cause other analysts to adjust their forecasts closer to H.C. Wainwright’s 2026 revenue prediction of $24.8 million.
Supporting the price target increase, Buck mentioned the application of a higher forward multiple on Intellicheck shares, moving from 3.0x to 4.0x. This adjustment is based on the company’s strong growth prospects and impressive gross margin of 90.61%. In closing, Buck reiterated the Buy rating, expressing confidence in Intellicheck’s continued business diversification and the potential for significant revenue growth in the following years.
