LNTH-Q is currently trading at 9.1x times' Forward P/E, with solid revenue and earnings growth in the last few years. However, the share price has been under pressure due to weak preliminary results for FY2023. The company has a strong balance sheet with minimal net debt, and it has been reinvesting heavily for growth. Consensus estimates expect sales to grow by around 9% over the next few years. While the momentum is poor, the valuation is considered quite attractive, although it may be a value trap. Growth needs to pick up or momentum improve before adding more.
LNTH is now trading at 9.1x times' Forward P/E. In the last few years, revenue and earnings growth were solid, but the share price has been under pressure recently after the company gave out weak preliminary result for FY2023. The balance sheet is strong, with a net debt of only $3M. The company has been reinvesting heavily in the last two years to pursue growth, along with some minor buybacks. Based on consensus estimates, sales are expected to grow by around 9% over the next few years. LNTH is a bit different from LLY and ABBV, which are drug development companies. The momentum is quite poor but we think valuation is quite attractive. It might be a value trap, and we would be less inclined to add until growth picks up or momentum improves.
