H.C. Wainwright Starts Pointer Telocation (PNTR) at Buy

H.C. Wainwright initiated coverage on Pointer Telocation (NASDAQ: PNTR) with a Buy rating and a price target of $11.00.

Analyst Amit Dayal said, "On Dec. 1, 2014, Pointer announced that it will be spinning off its roadside assistance (RSA) business via an IPO in the Tel Aviv exchange. We view this as a game changing move that allows PNTR to emerge as an MRM pure play and unlocks value by: 1) benefiting from immediate gross margin improvements from 33% to 45%; 2) simplifying for investors the company’s business model, core offerings, and future strategy; 3) reviving earnings growth (we are projecting 46% earnings growth in 2015); and 4) presenting an opportunity for shareholders to benefit from ownership in two separate, profitable companies specializing in providing two separate services with unique business models and separate paths to expansion."
