Jon Windham has given his Hold rating due to a combination of factors, including weaker‑than‑anticipated near‑term performance and reduced growth expectations. He cut his revenue forecasts for 2026–2028 after management issued soft first‑quarter sales guidance and the latest quarter came in below prior targets on both revenue and profitability.

At the same time, he sees some support from decent gross margin levels and the prospect of eventual operating improvement, even though the company remains loss‑making on an adjusted EBITDA basis. Reflecting the more cautious outlook, he lowered his price target to $3, valuing the shares at about 1.0x expected 2027 sales, and chose to stay Neutral while waiting for clearer progress toward sustained EBITDA profitability and positive free cash flow.

Windham covers the Industrials sector, focusing on stocks such as Waste Management, Ameresco, and Casella Waste. According to TipRanks, Windham has an average return of 9.8% and a 52.82% success rate on recommended stocks.
