Taglich Brothers Publishes First Coverage Report on Cosmos Health with a Price Target of $4, a Nearly Five-Fold Increase from Current Share Price
CHICAGO, IL / ACCESSWIRE / February 21, 2024 / Cosmos Health Inc. ("Cosmos Health" or the "Company'') (NASDAQ:COSM), a diversified, vertically integrated global healthcare group engaged in innovative R&D, owner of proprietary pharmaceutical and nutraceutical brands, manufacturer and distributor of healthcare products, and operator of a telehealth platform, announced today that Taglich Brothers, Inc. ("Taglich Brothers") published its first coverage report on the Company's common stock.
The report, published on February 20, 2024, by analyst Howard Halpern, assigned a Speculative Buy rating and set a 12-month price target of $4.00 per share, compared to the share price of $0.83 at the time of publication.
A summary is available in the Taglich Brothers website section dedicated to Cosmos Health, and the detailed report can be accessed here.
Greg Siokas, Chief Executive Officer of Cosmos Health, stated: "We are pleased that Taglich Brothers has published its inaugural coverage report on our common stock. As I have consistently stated, I believe our common stock is undervalued, given our accomplishments and growth prospects. In line with this, it's gratifying to see Taglich Brothers set a price target nearly 5 times higher than our current share price, underscoring the very reason I am also buying shares in the open market. We hope for even greater analyst coverage over time, which should further elevate awareness and highlight the intrinsic value of Cosmos."
Key highlights of the Taglich Brothers coverage report include:
- Price target of $4.00 per share implying the share price could increase nearly five-fold over the next twelve months.
- Tangible book value per share of $3.09, nearly four times higher than the current share price, suggesting a Price-to-Book ratio of 0.27X.
- Substantial growth is anticipated due to the Company's evolution into a vertically integrated global health organization.
- FY 2024 revenue is expected to reach $64 million, approximately 25% higher than FY 2022A and FY 2023E, reflecting, among others, the benefits from a full year's contribution from Cana Laboratories ('Cana') and sales from the Company's recently acquired portfolio of generic drugs.
- Trailing Price-to-Sales multiple of 0.2X is significantly below the average price-to-sales multiple of 2.2X for companies in the medical distribution and drug manufacturing sectors.
- Applying a price-to-sales multiple of 1.4X to the 2024 sales per share forecast of $3.50, and accounting for execution risks and potential dilution from the exercise of warrants, results in a year-ahead price target of approximately $4.00 per share.
- Valuation is expected to improve as Cosmos Health reports revenue growth, narrows operating losses, reduces cash burn, and improves adjusted EBITDA.
- The full-year loss per share is anticipated to decrease significantly due to substantial operating leverage from synergies with Cana and the associated increase in pharmaceutical production.
- Moving beyond 2024, significant growth is anticipated from Cana, with the potential to contribute at least $30 million of additional revenue by 2025 through the relaunch of its proprietary products, contract manufacturing services, production of new internally developed products, as well as the launch of a generic diabetes drug in Europe.
