Investing.com - RBC Capital upgraded Hologic (NASDAQ:HOLX), a $15.1 billion medical technology company, from Sector Perform to Outperform on Wednesday, while raising its price target to $87.00 from $72.00. According to InvestingPro data, the stock appears undervalued at its current price of $67.82.
The upgrade comes as RBC anticipates Hologic will issue fiscal year 2026 organic revenue growth guidance that exceeds current Street estimates of 4.3% when the company reports in approximately three months. InvestingPro analysis reveals that 14 analysts have recently revised their earnings estimates upward, with additional insights available to subscribers.
RBC believes this stronger-than-expected growth outlook will give investors confidence in sustainable mid-single-digit growth, potentially leading to multiple expansion for the stock.
The firm’s analysis suggests Hologic’s organic revenue growth will accelerate from current fiscal year 2025 guidance levels of 0.6% to 0.8%, driven partly by contributions from recent acquisitions including Gynosconics and Endomag.
RBC also noted that one-time headwinds affecting fiscal year 2025 revenue are unlikely to repeat in fiscal year 2026 or beyond, further supporting the improved growth outlook.
