U.S. natural gas prices upside likely in 2026 - Morgan Stanley
On Wednesday, Berenberg initiated coverage on Softcat (LON:SCTS) Plc (SCT:LN) stock, a leading UK technology value-added reseller, with a Hold rating and a price target of £16.00. Berenberg highlights Softcat's status as a high-quality company in the UK technology VAR space, citing its 25 years of consistent top-line growth and market leadership.
The firm's financial success is attributed to what is considered the broadest and deepest technical and service offering in the UK market. Softcat's distinctive culture and incentive structures are also recognized for fostering high levels of customer satisfaction and retention.
Berenberg acknowledges the company's significant growth potential in the UK and Ireland and the possibility of an expansion to the US market in the medium term.
Despite these positive attributes, Berenberg believes that the current qualities of Softcat are already accounted for in its equity valuation, which stands at 29 times free cash flow.
The analyst's Hold recommendation comes with a price target that suggests approximately a 3% upside, set at 1,600 pence. This valuation reflects Berenberg's view of the company's market position and future growth prospects, balanced against the current stock price.
