Canaccord Genuity analyst Doug Taylor, who recently initiated coverage on the stock with a ‘Buy’ rating, said Magnet Forensics is “rapidly gaining (market) share with law enforcement and corporate customers.”

“The Company targets 30 percent annual revenue growth in its largely recurring revenue base through expansion of its revenue per customer and new customer additions,” Mr. Taylor wrote, emphasizing that “strong revenue growth and free cash flow are expected to be the primary drivers of share price appreciation.”

The Canaccord analyst also noted that investors should like Magnet’s 93-95 percent gross margins, 70 percent-plus recurring revenue (and growing), and 120 percent net dollar retention rate.

BMO Nesbitt Burns analyst Thanos Moschopoulos, meanwhile, considers the stock “attractive given this rare combination of growth and profitability, which, in our view, isn’t adequately reflected in its current valuation.”

During its most recently-reported quarter (Q1 2021), Magnet Forensics saw its revenue rise 25% year over year to US$14.7 million, while its net income for the period surged 140% to $2.8 million.
