Stifel maintains Hold on Everi stock, target steady at $14.25

On Tuesday, Stifel analysts maintained their Hold rating on Everi Holdings (NYSE:EVRI) shares, with a consistent price target of $14.25. According to InvestingPro data, the stock currently trades at $13.73, near its 52-week high of $13.83, demonstrating strong market momentum despite trading at a relatively high earnings multiple. The firm’s analysts adjusted their financial model for Everi after reviewing the company’s fourth-quarter financials, which were recently made public in a 10-K filing on March 3, 2025.

The adjustments to the model were described as compositional, with the forecasted Adjusted EBITDA for fiscal years 2025 and 2026 remaining largely unchanged. With current EBITDA at $252.48 million and an impressive gross profit margin of 79.18%, Stifel’s analysis suggests that the risks associated with the completion of Everi’s acquisition by Apollo remain low. InvestingPro subscribers can access 8 additional key insights and a comprehensive Pro Research Report for deeper analysis of Everi’s financial health. The acquisition, which is valued at $14.25 per share in cash, is anticipated to close as planned in the third quarter of 2025.

Everi’s stock is currently trading at approximately a 4% gross spread to the offer price, which has led Stifel to uphold their Hold rating. The price target set by Stifel aligns with the cash offer proposed by Apollo.

The Stifel analyst, Jeffrey Stantial, commented on the rating and price target, stating, "We are updating our model to reflect 4Q24 financials disclosed in EVRI’s 10-K filed 3/3. After assessing Q4 results, we adjust our model compositionally with consolidated FY25/26E Adj. EBITDA largely intact. We continue to see limited risks to deal close and forecast the acquisition by Apollo for $14.25/share in cash closing as structured in 3Q25. As such, and with EVRI shares trading at an ~4% gross spread to offer, we maintain our Hold rating with our $14.25 target price in line with the Apollo cash offer."
