On Wednesday, Litchfield Hills Research initiated coverage on Algorhythm Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:RIME) with a Buy rating and set a price target of $5.00, representing significant upside from the current price of $3.29. The stock has shown strong momentum, gaining over 50% in the past week according to InvestingPro data. The firm highlighted Algorhythm’s transition from a consumer electronics company to a high-growth AI logistics firm.
The research firm noted that Algorhythm Holdings is leveraging its new business unit, SemiCab, to address logistics costs in India. While InvestingPro data shows the company’s revenue declined 39% in the last twelve months to $23 million, with concerning cash burn rates, the company has established partnerships with major players in the sector and is working alongside the Indian government’s National Digital Freight Exchange (NDFE) initiative, which aims to tackle inefficiencies in the logistics industry.
Algorhythm’s software, protected by trade secrets, is described as having a significant head start over competitors. The company is already operating at an enterprise scale and transacting with large partners, enhancing its network’s efficiency and scalability as it adds new customers and third-party trucks.
The analyst from Litchfield Hills Research pointed out that Algorhythm shares are selling at a discount compared to their discounted future earnings price target model and peers. The firm believes the $5 price target is reasonable, as it would still reflect a market cap to sales multiple below the industry average. This aligns with InvestingPro’s analysis, which indicates the stock is currently trading near its Fair Value, though investors should note the company’s weak overall financial health score.
