Alexander Paris has given his Buy rating due to a combination of factors influencing Proficient Auto Logistics, Inc. Despite the first quarter results being roughly in line with expectations, with revenue slightly above and adjusted EBITDA slightly below consensus, the outlook for the second quarter is optimistic. The company anticipates sequential revenue growth in the high-single digits and improved profitability, even amidst challenges such as tariffs affecting imported volumes.
Additionally, Proficient Auto Logistics is trading at a discount compared to its peer groups, which presents an attractive valuation opportunity. As the automotive market recovers and the company gains market share through industry dislocation and recent acquisitions, revenue growth and margin expansion are expected in the latter half of 2025. These factors contribute to the reiteration of an OUTPERFORM rating and a 12-month price target of $12, indicating a significant upside potential from the current price.
According to TipRanks, Paris is a 5-star analyst with an average return of 12.4% and a 62.93% success rate. Paris covers the Consumer Cyclical sector, focusing on stocks such as Lincoln Edu, Perdoceo Education, and H&R Block.
In another report released today, Stifel Nicolaus also reiterated a Buy rating on the stock with a $14.00 price target.
