Harmonic’s recent Credit Agreement, effective as of December 21, 2023, introduces significant operating and financial constraints for the company and its key subsidiaries. By securing assets and requiring guarantees from material subsidiaries, the agreement restricts Harmonic’s ability to leverage these assets for further debt, asset disposal, or certain investments. Moreover, stringent financial covenants impose a maximum net leverage ratio and a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio, potentially limiting Harmonic’s operational financing and capital needs fulfillment. Should Harmonic breach any covenant, this could trigger a default, empowering lenders to demand immediate repayment and potentially destabilize the company’s financial structure.

Overall, Wall Street has a Strong Buy consensus rating on HLIT stock based on 6 Buys.
