Stifel maintains Buy on Gambling.com, keeps $18 target

On Friday, Stifel analysts stood firm on their Buy rating for Gambling.com Group Ltd. (NASDAQ: GAMB) with a steady price target of $18.00. The endorsement comes as the company’s shares, currently trading at $12.13, experienced a 15% drop, continuing a challenging period that saw an 8.4% decline in the past week. According to InvestingPro data, this recent pullback comes despite the stock’s impressive 60% gain over the past year. These include market expectations for continued strong performance following a trend of beating earnings estimates and raising forecasts, a shift in revenue mix towards media partnerships which wasn’t wholly favorable, and a slight implied downside in constant currency terms, despite beneficial foreign exchange conditions.

The analysts at Stifel highlighted Gambling.com’s resilience within the challenging gambling affiliate sector. They pointed to the company’s diverse and high-quality geographic and product revenue mix, increasing subscription revenue, proprietary technology, disciplined operational efficiency, and a strategic approach to mergers and acquisitions as factors that differentiate Gambling.com from its competitors. This operational excellence is reflected in the company’s outstanding 94.5% gross profit margin and robust 24.7% revenue growth over the last twelve months, as reported by InvestingPro.

Despite the broader sector’s difficulties potentially capping the company’s valuation, Stifel’s analysts consider Gambling.com’s stock to be undervalued when compared to historical benchmarks. This view aligns with InvestingPro’s Fair Value analysis, which suggests the stock is currently undervalued. Trading at a P/E ratio of 12.2 relative to its growth potential, and maintaining a "GREAT" financial health score, the company shows promising fundamentals.
