Analyst Brian McNamara of Canaccord Genuity maintained a Buy rating on Hillman Solutions (HLMN – Research Report), retaining the price target of $13.00.
Brian McNamara’s rating is based on Hillman Solutions’ potential for improved cash flow generation and growth as strategic investments are completed. Despite a slight miss in adjusted EBITDA compared to consensus, the company’s financial performance was generally aligned with market expectations, and sales in protective solutions saw a notable increase due to the Intex acquisition.
The company anticipates significant free cash flow from its Robotics and Digital Solutions segment once the MinuteKey 3.5 rollout is finalized. Additionally, Hillman Solutions’ historical top-line growth and the anticipated positive impacts from new business wins and the Intex acquisition support a favorable outlook. These factors contribute to McNamara’s confidence in the company’s future performance, underpinning the Buy rating.
According to TipRanks, McNamara is a 3-star analyst with an average return of 1.0% and a 52.51% success rate. McNamara covers the Consumer Cyclical sector, focusing on stocks such as SharkNinja, Inc., Rollins, and Traeger.
