What are analysts saying about Ability stock?
Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about Ability stock:
- 1. According to Zacks Investment Research, "Ability Inc. is a provider of tactical communications intelligence solutions for government agencies, military forces, law enforcement and homeland security agencies. The company offers interception, surveillance, decryption, cyber and geolocation solutions. Ability Inc. is based in Tel Aviv, Israel. " (4/19/2017)
- 2. FBR & Co analysts commented, "On April 11, Ability announced the resignation of all five of its independent board members, and management provided commentary on the challenges that this company is facing. From our point of view, a potentially bright future remains for the company’s flagship Ultimate Interceptor (ULIN) technology, but the ongoing SEC investigation and the appearance of internal challenges are likely to weigh on the stock and prevent significant upside from current levels. Additionally, the company appeared to imply a significant cash burn during 4Q16 that we had not expected, which is something to focus on in future quarters (although the controlling shareholders have noted that they will evaluate whether to contribute capital). All things considered, we believe it is pertinent to step back to the sidelines; while more ULIN wins would likely be positive for the stock, we now believe that there are somewhat significant risk factors that should keep the shares at current levels."

Consensus Ratings for Ability (NASDAQ:ABIL) (How are Consensus Ratings Calculated?) MarketBeat calculates consensus ratings using the most recent rating from each brokerage that has rated a stock within the last twelve months. Since brokers often use different ratings systems, each rating is normalized to a standardized rating score of 1 (sell), 2 (hold), 3 (buy) or 4 (strong buy). Consensus ratings scores are calculated using the mean average of the number of normalized sell, hold, buy and strong buy ratings. Each stock's consensus rating is derived from its calculated consensus ratings score (0-1.5 = Sell, 1.5-2.5 = Hold, 2.5-3.5 = Buy, >3.5 = Strong Buy). MarketBeat's consensus price targets are a mean average of the most recent available price targets set by each analyst that has set a price target for the stock in the last twelve months.
MarketBeat will no longer include ratings and price target data in its consensus calculation if a broker drops coverage and MarketBeat has received a report that coverage was dropped. Ratings from certain research firms that issue ratings using purely quantitative methods (such as Zacks, Vetr and ValuEngine) are not included in consensus calculations. MarketBeat's consensus ratings and consensus price targets may differ from those calculated by other firms due to differences in methodology and available data.
