Is KN a Buy, Before Earnings?Bulls Say, Bears Say
Bulls Say
Financial PerformanceKnowles remains on track to generate over $100M in free cash flow this year excluding any Consumer MEMS Microphones deal, driving stock buybacks and some debt retirement.
Strategic InitiativeStrategic initiative in Consumer MEMS Microphones would be transformational for the company, and is 'close to a conclusion,' per management's statement during its recent earnings call.
ValuationStock currently trades at about 12 times estimated earnings per share of $1.42, which does not contemplate the outcome of a strategic initiative and represents a discount to the stock's five-year average price-to-earnings ratio of 14.4 times and far from the stock's five-year peak price-to-earnings ratio of 19 times.
Bears Say
Inventory LevelsThe high level of inventories in the industrial sector continues to dampen expectations of a swift recovery.
Medtech & Specialty Audio PerformanceMedtech & Specialty Audio (MSA), down -15% sequentially, was worse than expectations though not entirely unexpected as 4Q is typically the strongest quarter for the hearing health market.
Revenue ForecastThe revenue forecast reflects conservatism about expectations of a recovery in industrial, where inventories remain high.
