UPDATE: RBC Capital Upgrades Mercury Systems (MRCY) to Outperform

RBC Capital analyst Ken Herbert upgraded Mercury Systems (NASDAQ: MRCY) from Sector Perform to Outperform with a price target of $72.00 (from $60.00).

The analyst comments "We are upgrading our rating of Mercury Systems (MRCY) to Outperform from Sector Perform and increasing our target price to $72. After the disappointing FY22, we believe the company is well positioned to return to at least MSD organic growth, execution (margins and FCF) improvement, and the activist presence provides a floor on the valuation, in our view. Defense spending and sentiment are also tailwinds for the stock, providing a strong backdrop for a positive re-rating. Our $72 PT (from $60) is based on 18x EV/EBITDA and 26x P/E multiples on our FY23 estimates."
