On Tuesday, Piper Sandler expressed optimism about Trimble Inc. (NASDAQ: TRMB), increasing the company’s price target to $73 from $68. The firm sustained its Overweight rating on the stock. The adjustment follows Trimble’s announcement that it will conduct a conference call in the upcoming weeks to discuss its new reporting structure, which will include two years of historical financials and a foundation for its 2024 guidance.<\/p>\n

The analyst from Piper Sandler highlighted several key insights based on Trimble’s preliminary disclosure during the fourth-quarter 2023 earnings call. Firstly, Trimble is expected to be among the top three businesses in the Architecture, Engineering, Construction, and Operations (AECO) software sector, with projected revenues of $1.3 billion for fiscal year 2024, boasting a high recurring revenue mix of 95%.<\/p>\n

Additionally, the EBITDA margins for Trimble’s AECO segment are anticipated to be in the mid-20% range. This estimate is drawn from the assumption that the Civil Construction unit, which is transitioning into Field Systems, has a low-30% margin. Furthermore, the Buildings & Infrastructure division reported an Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR) growth of just under 20% in 2023, suggesting that the AECO business could experience a mid-teens or higher growth rate in 2024.<\/p>\n

The analyst also noted that Trimble’s AECO business aligns with the “Rule of 40,” a benchmark indicating that a software company’s combined growth rate and profit margin should exceed 40%. Considering the industry average EBITDA multiple of 30 times for vertical software companies that meet this rule, the AECO business, with its EBITDA surpassing $325 million, could be valued at approximately $10 billion.<\/p>\n

Trimble’s forthcoming conference call is expected to provide a comprehensive review of the company’s financial trajectory and strategic positioning within the AECO software market, as per the initial information shared by the company.<\/p>\n
