Gabrial Hajde has given his Buy rating due to a combination of factors that highlight Magnera’s potential for growth and value creation. The company is focusing on achieving merger synergies and reducing its balance sheet leverage, which are expected to unlock significant value. Additionally, there is an attractive risk/reward profile as Magnera benefits from greater scale as a combined entity, despite the potential volatility due to fluctuating end markets.
Hajde’s confidence is further supported by the management’s guidance, which indicates strong EBITDA and free cash flow projections post-merger. The synergy realization is expected to add notable improvements to the EBITDA margin, and the net leverage is projected to decrease over time, aligning with a more conservative financial strategy. These factors contribute to the increased price target of $24, reflecting the positive outlook for Magnera’s financial performance and strategic positioning.
