TD Cowen Starts Merlin Labs (MRLN) at Buy, 'Flight Autonomy Provider W/ Optionality'
(Updated - June 3, 2026 5:30 AM EDT)
TD Cowen analyst Gautam Khanna initiates coverage on Merlin Labs (NASDAQ: MRLN) with a Buy rating and a price target of $11.00.
The analyst comments "MRLN is a flight autonomy provider with contracts to develop autonomy software for the military's C-130J/KC-135 programs. We initiate at Buy, with an $11 PT. EBITDA/FCF will likely be negative for years, sales/EBITDA volatility is high, pricing/adoption of MRLN's software is not assured, and SPAC overhangs (warrants; lock-ups) exist. Thus, we expect high stock volatility."
