Universal Display (OLED) Price Target Lifted to $40 at Needham & Company Following LG Deal

Needham & Company analyst James Ricchiuti reiterated a Buy rating and boosted his price target on Universal Display (NASDAQ: OLED) to $40.00 (from $35.00) after the company announced a long-awaited long-term license and supplemental materials agreement with LG Display .

Ricchiuti commented, "UDC announced a long-awaited long-term license and supplemental materials agreement with LG Display (LPL, NR). The agreement runs through December 2022, roughly five years beyond the current six-year agreement with Samsung that ends in 2017. Unlike the Samsung agreement, which features a fixed license payment made semi-annually that scales each year, the LG agreement is structured with licensees fees and running royalties on the sale of panels LG manufactures and sells, along with a supplemental phosphorescent materials agreement. While details of the agreement were limited, we regard it as a significant milestone for UDC, which now has long-term license and materials supply agreements with the two largest display manufacturers in the world."
