Valens Research Weekly Equity Idea Highlight for May 16, 2018 – Citrix Systems, Inc.
This week the Valens Research team highlights our most interesting equity insight from across our tools and our analysis.
Pessimistic market outlook for growth and ROA’, with favorable management alignment, strong strategic positioning and accelerating operational execution points to equity upside
Current market expectations for CTXS are overly pessimistic. While UAFRS-based (Uniform) ROA is projected to rebound in 2018 after the decline in 2017, the market is expecting returns to remain at 10-year historical low levels going forward, with growth at the low end of historical averages. However, post-Go To the business is positioned for substantial growth opportunities going forward. This is likely to warrant sustained growth and ROA’ stability to improvement going forward.
