Stifel analyst Shlomo Rosenbaum raised the firm’s price target on First Advantage (FA) to $21 from $16 and keeps a Buy rating on the shares after the company introduced its pro forma deal model for the company’s pending acquisition of Sterling Check (STER). The firm, which says it “took a balanced approach to our assumptions, and attempted to be somewhat conservative but also reasonable,” notes that its base case implies 2% dilution to standalone earnings in 2024, with low-to-mid-single-digit EPS accretion from 2025-2028.
