Investor Insights

This summary was created by AI, based on 1 opinions in the last 12 months.

Akumin Inc. (AKU-T) has been recognized as a company that gained significant popularity during the dot-com era, leveraging the growing demand for its services at the time. However, recent expert insights suggest that the necessity of its offerings has diminished due to the substantial improvements in internet speed and connectivity. As a result, the demand for Akumin's services may not be as robust as it once was, leading to concerns about its current relevance in a rapidly evolving tech landscape. This shift signals a potential challenge for the company as it navigates the changed market dynamics where technology and consumer expectations have evolved. Investors may need to reassess the long-term viability of Akumin's business model in light of these changes.

Sep 09, 2024

It was popular in the dot com years. Its service isn't as needed now since Internet speed is way better.

Challenge was that to get this business where it is, they had to do a lot of acquisitions and take on a lot of debt. Tough environment for companies with debt, stock's under pressure. Follows it. Great business, good growth. Don't buy here.

A frustrating position. Imaging clinics in the US. Performing well and acquiring clinics. Higher margins than peers. Positive news has come out, so the rest of the year should be better, closing the gap in the valuation. Generating free cashflow and paying down debt. Alzheimer's drug will push organic demand for scans.

A past top pick. It's the second-largest US imaging diagnostics clinic operator. They have a large presence in Texas and Florida which are reopening. AKU is rebounding from last year, when they kept margins strong. Revenue growth has rebounded well as well as volume growth. They weathered 2020 lockdowns well. Their last quarter changed accounting practices, which confused the street, but that's straightened out now. A positive outlook.

At an inflection point. Technology, right clinics, and right billing cycle to drive free cashflow, which is the lifeblood to being a consolidation play. US institutions are interested in it. Demographics are in their favour, a massive tailwind. No dividend. (Analysts’ price target is $5.24)

(A Top Pick Oct 15/19, Up 20%) Operates MRI clinics in the US. Now second largest in the US. Can consolidate and grow. Substantial margins in the mid-20s. Impressive management team. Still likes it at these levels.

The company has MRI clinics in the US. It has over 100 clinics now. He thinks it is a fantastic buy at this level. The challenge is their balance sheet, because of their unfortunate timing of an acquisition just as the pandemic hit. He thinks they will manage it just fine. Margins will be strong when things return to normal for this small cap.

He's long owned this. They run diagnostic imaging centres in the U.S. They charge half what hospitals do, which is attracting businesses. AKU has one big competitor in the U.S. that is twice the size of AKU. He believes the competitor will one day buy AKU. He'll wait 18 months for this take-out to happen.

Investors don't recognize its value. It can grow inorganically in this environment. A solid business that operates medical MRI clinics, the number two player in the U.S. Payout rates have been very stable. Free cash flow will turn around this year. This should do well this year and boasts a lot of upside. Also, a cheap valuation. (Analysts’ price target is $5.69)

Akumin Inc.(AKU-T)

Dec 09, 2019
He picked this last time. It's a great growth-by-acquisition story, buying up medical scanning businesses in Florida and Texas. They're expanding margins to around 25%. They reported a fine quarter lately. Many people are getting MRI scans; hospitals charge a lot for this and insurers are encouraging insurance holders to get these scans in hospitals. AKU is are consolidating what they have now, and they will continue to buy more companies in the years to come. (Analysts’ price target is $7.52)

It hasn't been getting love. Its business is in the U.S. They've executed very well. They operate MRI and CT scan clinics, as one of the biggest players in the States. They're in a 20% EBITDA business. Aging demographics are a huge tailwind, and Americans prefer going to clinics than pricier hospitals. (Analysts’ price target is $5.92)

A longtime favourite of his. AKU is a consolidator of imaging centres (x-rays, CAT scans, MRIs) at outpatient centres. There are bigger competitors, but they're trading at a higher 9x multiple than AKU. AKU trades around 8x. Today's acquisition was at 7x and addeds $30 million more EBITDA. There's still lots of consolidation to go in the U.S. So AKU can keep buying. Lots of runway ahead.
