MOND stock is a buy, Roth says

MOND stock

Following the announcement of a stock buyback program, Roth MKM analyst Darren Aftahi remains bullish on Mondee Holdings (Mondee Holdings Stock Quote, Chart, News, Analysts, Financials Nasdaq:MOND)

On September 21, MOND announced it had been authorized to buy back up to $30-million of its own stock, effective immediately.

“We are excited to launch this $30 million share repurchase program as a clear signal of our dedication to delivering value to our shareholders,” CEO Prasad Gundumogula said.  “Our decision reflects our belief in the strength of Mondee’s financial position and our commitment to optimizing our capital structure for the benefit of our investors and shareholders.”

The analyst says despite a falling share price, all seems to be well with MOND.

“We have seen little fundamental data to suggest weakening fundamentals, such as improving travel trends domestically, internationally, and with ancillary services, notably August being the highest trip level since the pandemic began,” the analyst said. “Overall, we believe nothing has changed with the fundamentals to warrant the sell-off and the buyback should help support further declines.”

In a research update to clients September 22, Aftahi maintained his “Buy” rating and one-year price target of $10.00 on Mondee Holdings.

The analyst thinks MOND will post EBITDA of $27.5-million on revenue of $247.7-million in fiscal 2023. He expects those numbers will improve to EBITDA of $62.9-million on a topline of $338.6-million the following year.
