David Ridley Lane has given his Sell rating due to a combination of factors impacting Ralliant Corporation’s performance. The company’s Test & Measurement segment is experiencing a slower recovery, with a book-to-bill ratio of around 1.0x and year-over-year declines in orders and organic volume. Although there is a slight improvement expected in the third quarter, the overall outlook remains challenging.
Additionally, Ralliant is facing higher operating expenses, which are only partially mitigated by cost-saving measures. The spin-off of its calibration services business has resulted in a significant loss of revenue, further straining margins. Consequently, the adjusted EBITDA forecast for 2025 is down 25% year-over-year, reflecting a decline in organic revenue and margin compression. Despite maintaining a price objective of $48, the valuation remains at a discount compared to peers due to below-average growth and margins.
