Scott Buck has given his Buy rating due to a combination of factors that highlight Lightpath Technologies’ strong growth potential. The recent acquisition of G5 Infrared is a significant catalyst for both short-term and long-term revenue growth. This acquisition expands Lightpath’s product offerings and technological capabilities, allowing the company to offer a comprehensive range of products from low-cost optical components to high-end imaging systems. As a result, the company anticipates a substantial increase in consolidated revenue over the next year, coupled with higher gross margins, which suggests more consistent profitability.
Additionally, the market’s negative reaction to the acquisition financing has created an attractive opportunity for investors. Despite the decline in LPTH shares, the provisions of the convertible preferred equity used for financing are favorable and limit arbitrage opportunities. Furthermore, Lightpath’s involvement in various programs, including a significant project with Lockheed Martin, presents substantial future revenue opportunities that are not yet reflected in current estimates. These factors contribute to a favorable risk-reward profile for LPTH shares, supporting the Buy rating and a $5 price target.
