Marie Thibault has given her Buy rating due to a combination of factors related to Accuray’s recent financial maneuvers. The company announced plans to exchange its convertible notes, refinance its debt, and secure a new credit facility, which are expected to be completed soon. These actions are anticipated to alleviate investor concerns regarding near-term debt maturity while maintaining a stable balance sheet. Although there will be some share dilution and potentially higher interest expenses, the option to pay interest in kind allows Accuray to keep cash outlays on interest relatively stable.
Thibault adjusted the price target from $5 to $4, reflecting the changes in the company’s financial model and the anticipated dilution. The valuation is based on a 1.5x enterprise value to sales multiple over a 12-24 month revenue estimate. Despite the adjustments, the Buy rating is reiterated, indicating confidence in Accuray’s strategic financial decisions and their potential to enhance the company’s financial health in the long term.
