Bob Huang, an analyst from Morgan Stanley, maintained the Hold rating on TWFG, Inc. Class A (TWFG – Research Report). The associated price target remains the same with $31.00.
Bob Huang’s rating is based on the company’s recent financial performance and future growth prospects. TWFG, Inc. reported a significant increase in contingent income and fee income, both exceeding market expectations. The corporate branches also showed strong year-over-year revenue growth, contributing to higher total revenue than anticipated. However, there are concerns regarding the development of salaries and benefits expenses, especially with the conversion of branches to corporate branches.
Despite the positive earnings report, there are some areas of concern, such as the decrease in other income and higher-than-expected general and administrative expenses. The company’s guidance for 2025 includes ambitious targets for organic revenue growth and adjusted EBITDA margin, which are already reflected in market expectations. Therefore, while the company is executing on its guidance and exploring growth opportunities through acquisitions and geographic expansion, the current valuation appears to be fairly priced, leading to a Hold rating.
