James Ricchiuti has given his Buy rating due to a combination of factors that highlight Napco Security Technologies’ strong operating momentum and attractive outlook. He notes that the company delivered quarterly revenue growth above market expectations, with both hardware and recurring service streams advancing at solid double-digit rates. Within hardware, door locking solutions and intrusion/access alarm products each posted robust gains, underscoring broad-based demand across the portfolio. At the same time, recurring service revenues continued to scale, supporting a growing, high-visibility revenue base that now approaches a roughly $99 million annualized run-rate.
Ricchiuti also emphasizes that profitability is tracking better than anticipated, as gross margins benefited from improved economics in equipment sales alongside persistently strong service margins. This margin performance, combined with the stronger top-line, drove earnings per share meaningfully ahead of consensus expectations. Reflecting greater confidence in the company’s trajectory, he raised his financial forecasts for fiscal 2026 and 2027. On this basis, Ricchiuti reiterates his Buy recommendation and lifts his price target from $47 to $49, indicating further upside potential from current levels.
