In other recent news, Donnelley Financial Solutions released its fourth-quarter results, which did not meet the expectations set by DA Davidson. Following this, DA Davidson adjusted its price target for the company from $76.00 to $72.00 but maintained a Buy rating. The company’s guidance for the first quarter of 2025 was also reported to be below the forecasts of both DA Davidson and the consensus. Analysts at DA Davidson have revised their revenue and adjusted EBITDA forecasts for 2025 and 2026, decreasing them by 2%-3% each. The underperformance was mainly attributed to the unpredictable nature of Transactional revenue. Despite the disappointing results, DA Davidson believes the more than 20% drop in Donnelley Financial’s share price since the earnings report is an overreaction. The firm continues to express confidence in the company’s stock by retaining the Buy rating. These developments have led to a recalibration of expectations by market analysts regarding Donnelley Financial’s future performance.
