November 6, 2009 1:22 PM EST

Canaccord Adams maintains 'Buy' on ICF International (Nasdaq: ICFI), price target increased $34.

Canaccord analyst says, "Once again, ICF demonstrated the strength and consistency of its business despite the overall weakness in the economy. Most notably, the company’s organic revenue growth was 14.1%, up from the prior quarter’s 9.2%, due to gains in federal business and energy efficiency programs, as well as an increase in the firm’s commercial transportation business. At the end of Q3, backlog was up by $200M to $1.4 billion, including funded backlog of $556M (38.8% of the total). Management guided for Q4/09 revenue of $165-$170M and EPS of $0.30-$0.33. For 2010, the company guided for revenue of $715-$750M and EBITDA margins of 9-10%. Because these forecasts are in line with our prior estimates, we make no changes to revenue or EPS forecasts...Given the consistency and visibility of ICF’s business, we feel a higher EV/EBITDA multiple is appropriate when valuing the stock. We therefore increase our price target to $34 (from $32), which is based on 10x EV/2010E EBITDA (up from 9.5x previously)."
