On September 19, 2023, Alarm.com Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:ALRM), a leading provider of cloud-based services for smart homes and businesses, received positive feedback from Roth MKM analyst Darren Aftahi. Aftahi reiterated a Buy rating on the company and increased the price target to $67 from $61.
Aftahi conducted a Mid-Q survey, which revealed that Alarm.com’s core software-as-a-service (SaaS) growth estimate of 5.6% could see a 170 basis point upside. This suggests a year-over-year growth of approximately 12.3%, excluding Vivint revenue from the previous year. The analyst noted that ALRM reported 1H23 SaaS growth of 13.4% and overall growth of 14.1%.
Although the survey indicated a slowdown in year-over-year growth for video peripheral systems such as video doorbells and cameras, respondents expressed optimism about future growth and prospects. The survey showed a range of growth between 19% and 36%, with an average of 26%. However, respondents reported that video peripheral product sales in 3Q23 were only up by 0-2% compared to the previous year, a decrease from the levels seen in the 2Q survey. The availability of hardware remained consistent throughout the quarter.
The analyst’s checks also provided minor data on Alarm.com’s Commercial segment, which continues to grow at a rate exceeding 20%. Aftahi believes this trend could continue in the future.
Looking ahead, the analyst projects revenues of $876.5 million and earnings per share (EPS) of $1.70 for FY23. For FY24, the projections are $929.4 million in revenues and EPS of $1.76.
