Doug Irwin has given his Hold rating due to a combination of factors surrounding USA Compression’s recent strategic moves and financial outlook. The acquisition of J-W Power is seen as a positive development, expected to enhance the company’s earnings and cash flow through synergies and cost savings. However, despite these benefits, the overall impact on the company’s leverage and geographic exposure is relatively moderate, leading to a cautious approach.
Furthermore, while the acquisition provides USA Compression with increased flexibility for capital allocation and potential growth opportunities, the expected share price return remains modest at 2.9%. This suggests that while there are positive aspects to the acquisition, the immediate financial benefits may not be substantial enough to warrant a more aggressive rating. Therefore, the Hold rating reflects a balanced view of the potential risks and rewards associated with USA Compression’s current strategic direction.
In another report released on November 28, RBC Capital also maintained a Hold rating on the stock with a $29.00 price target.
