- 2. Maxim Group analysts commented, "Wallet share expansion continues, despite Dec Q results at low-end of guidance. Our assumption of seasonal performance off of below-consensus Mar Q guidance leads to our below-guidance 2019 revenue estimate… …but still a re-accelerating growth profile to 10% y/y by 4Q19 given secular growth, year-ago dealer add dynamics & likely increasing loyalty from dealers. Despite the weaker-than-anticipated 2019 outlook, we remain confident CTRL is well-positioned for sustained organic growth of 10% for multiple years but, we reduce our PT to $31, from $36 and maintain Buy rating." (2/5/2019)
- 3. Imperial Capital analysts commented, "We are lowering our rating on CTRL shares to and maintaining our one- year price target of $32, about 12% below the recent share price. We continue to remain confident in management’s ability to improve margin and revenue growth and pursue strategic acquisitions. However, based on the share price as of 8/27/18, the stock is now above our price target. Rationale Growth reflected in recent stock price. On 8/2/18, CTRL reported 2Q18 results with revenue, adjusted EPS, and adjusted gross margin all above our estimates. In our report dated 8/3/18, we raised our price target to $32 from $30 (about 22% above the then share price of $26.26). The stock has now surpassed our valuation and fully reflects the company’s growth potential over the next twelve months, we believe." (8/28/2018)
