Q4 revenues disappoint amid shift towards larger projects

By Inderes
Metacon’s Q4 revenues came in markedly lower than expected. According to Metacon, the decrease in revenue was primarily due to changes in the company’s sales focus that were implemented during the period. We had hoped to receive an update regarding previously announced projects to gain better visibility into the timing and likelihood of these projects materializing, as these projects underpin our near-term estimates. However, no such update was provided and the continued low visibility into these projects and future projects creates further downward pressure on our estimates. Hence, we continue to see the stock’s short-term drivers and risk/reward ratio as insufficient.
