Kontrol Technologies ( (TSE:KNR) ) has issued an update.

Kontrol Technologies is sharpening its focus on Ontario’s aging multi-residential market, targeting complex heating and cooling retrofits that tap energy-efficiency rebates and lock in long-term maintenance contracts. With nearly 87% of Greater Toronto Area rental stock built before 1980, the company sees a substantial opportunity to scale larger retrofit projects as part of its organic growth strategy.

As part of its acquisitive growth plan, Kontrol has signed a non-binding letter of intent to purchase an Ontario-based HVAC service firm generating about $3 million in annual revenue. Priced at $1.2 million including working capital, the proposed deal is intended to strengthen Kontrol’s service platform, expand recurring commercial maintenance revenues and add operating synergies, although management underscores it will proceed only if due diligence meets strict strategic and financial criteria.

The most recent analyst rating on (TSE:KNR) stock is a Hold with a C$2.50 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Kontrol Technologies stock, see the TSE:KNR Stock Forecast page.
