William Blair analyst Louie DiPalma has reiterated their neutral stance on BBAI stock, giving a Hold rating today.
Louie DiPalma’s rating is based on a combination of factors that have influenced BigBear.ai’s current market position. The company’s shares have seen a significant decline, over 20%, following the release of fourth-quarter results that did not meet market expectations. Additionally, the guidance for 2025 was also below what analysts had anticipated, largely due to an uncertain funding environment and ongoing resolutions that have impacted financial projections.
Despite these challenges, BigBear.ai has taken steps to improve its financial standing by enhancing its balance sheet and reducing net debt. A notable development is the award of a substantial $165 million contract with the U.S. Army, which is expected to bolster future revenues. Furthermore, BigBear.ai’s collaboration with L3Harris as a key provider of advanced analytics for autonomous vessels is seen as a strategic advantage. These positive aspects are balanced against the current financial pressures, leading to the Hold rating.
In another report released today, Northland Securities also downgraded the stock to a Hold with a $4.00 price target.
