What are Wall Street analysts saying about I.D. Systems stock?
Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about I.D. Systems stock:
- 1. According to Zacks Investment Research, "I.D. Systems Inc is a leading provider of wireless solutions for corporate asset management. I.D. Systems' customers include 3M Company, American Axle, Archer Daniels Midland, Daimler Chrysler, Deere & Co., Ford Motor Company, General Dynamics, Hallmark Cards, Northrop Grumman, Target Corporation, Walgreen Co., the U.S. Navy, the U.S. Postal Service, and the U.S. Transportation Security Administration, among others. The company's systems enable management to control and track the location and status of their assets in real time. " (10/10/2018)
- 2. LADENBURG THALM/SH SH analysts commented, "We spent time with IDSY management last week, and the company continues to reiterate the commentary from the early August earnings call regarding Avis (CAR, $31.81, Not Rated). As a reminder, IDSY is in the final stages of deploying the initial 50,000 unit order for the Unified Telematics Platform (UTP) hardware on Avis rental vehicles. Though there was a July 19th deadline for Avis to re-up for another 50,000 units if it wanted to maintain exclusivity, the company continues to be in negotiations. The deployment of the first units has gone extremely well with quick installations and high utilization rates in the field." (9/12/2018)
- 3. National Securities analysts commented, "IDSY is an unsung contender in the market for Industrial IoT (IIoT). IDSY has a significant platform selling fleet telematics, with an increasing focus on logistics visibility. It also has the market leading position in industrial truck management (on-campus telematics). We think this business will increasingly favor the larger scale vendors with mature software products and allow IDSY to capture market share.
We think the markets served are large and attractive. Logistics telematics historically focused on asset tracking, a maturing market. However a transition to freight tracking provides an opportunity for differentiation and market share gains. Meanwhile, we think the highly fragmented market opportunity in industrial trucks is in the hundreds of millions. The captive opportunity with Avis for rental vehicle tracking adds $10+ million to the annual revenue opportunity if deployed across the fleet.
Losses are narrowing and we expect adjusted EBITDA to turn positive in 2018. IDSY reported a non-GAAP net loss of $2 million in 2016, $0.5 million in 2017, and a $0.2 million profit through 2Q:18. We model adjusted EBITDA of $0.3 million in 2018, up from a loss of $0.3 million in 2017 and $4 million in 2016. We expect these positive earnings trends will continue with revenue growth.
We initiate coverage of IDSY with a BUY rating and $8.60 Price Target. Peers trade around a 3.0x EV/TTM revenue. IDSY maintains superior gross margins with upside as software content in the mix expands. With positive trends in play across all segments and profitability emerging, we apply a 2.4x multiple to our 2019 revenue estimate to arrive at an $8.60 price target." (8/27/2018)
