On Monday, Stifel analysts increased the price target for Target (NYSE:TGT) Hospitality (NASDAQ:TH) to $7.50, up from $5.00, while keeping a Hold rating on the stock. The revision follows Target Hospitality’s fourth-quarter results for 2024, which surpassed expectations. According to InvestingPro data, the company maintains impressive gross profit margins of 61% and has seen an 8.7% stock price increase over the past week. InvestingPro analysis suggests the stock is currently fairly valued, trading at 9.5x earnings and 3.6x EV/EBITDA. The company has provided guidance for 2025, projecting adjusted EBITDA to be between $47 million and $57 million, which is approximately 5.6% higher than Stifel’s initial forecast.
Target Hospitality anticipates positive free cash flow (FCF) in 2025, aided by savings on interest expenses from the redemption of $181 million of its 2025 Senior Notes. The company’s outlook for 2025 is bolstered by its Hospitality Facilities Solutions (HFS) segment, primarily serving the oil and gas industry, as well as recent contracts, including a five-year agreement for the South Dilley facility and a contract with Lithium Americas (NYSE:LAC). InvestingPro data reveals the company’s strong financial health with an overall score of "GREAT," operating with a moderate debt level and maintaining a healthy current ratio of 1.07.
Stifel also foresees potential for additional revenue growth if Target Hospitality successfully renegotiates contracts for a portion of its currently idle assets in West Texas, specifically in Pecos. This could provide further upside to the firm’s projections for the company’s performance in 2025.
The price target increase to $7.50 is based on a revised valuation range that takes into account updated forecasts for 2026. These forecasts assume that 75% of the idle West Texas assets will be under contract, according to Stifel’s analysis. Despite the positive outlook and increased price target, Stifel has chosen to maintain its Hold rating on Target Hospitality stock.
