Street Calls of the Week
Investing.com - H.C. Wainwright raised its price target on Richtech Robotics Inc. (NASDAQ:RR) to $6.00 from $3.50 on Friday, while maintaining a Buy rating on the service robotics company. The stock has shown remarkable momentum, gaining over 36% in the past week and trading near its 52-week high of $5.20. According to InvestingPro analysis, the stock appears overvalued at current levels.
The firm’s updated outlook follows discussions with Richtech management at the H.C. Wainwright & Co. 27th Annual Global Investment Conference in New York, where the company reported ongoing meaningful discussions with potential customers amid increasing interest in service robots.
Richtech completed a pilot program in late August with one of the top five automotive dealers in the United States by revenue and number of dealerships. The dealer has expressed intent to further enter into statements of work for their dealership locations following the pilot that began in May.
The robotics company announced in late August that it had raised approximately $100.0 million in gross proceeds through its ATM program, significantly strengthening its balance sheet and reducing the need for additional near-term capital raises. H.C. Wainwright believes this capital could be deployed either organically or inorganically to accelerate revenue growth.
The firm also noted Richtech could expand its robot-supported Clouffee & Tea concept to additional locations, potentially driving incremental revenue and product awareness as the company positions itself in the growing service robotics market.
