JMP Securities analyst Joseph Osha reiterated his Outperform rating and $108 price target on Itron following meetings with the company's management team that left him "confident" in its roadmap. In a research note to investors, Osha said he came away from meetings with Itron's management convinced that the company is on track to deliver improvements that are not yet reflected in the stock price. Osha noted that CEO Philip Mezey "made it clear" that the integration of Sliver Spring will result in a "messy" first half of 2018, with about $60M in cash integration charges in the first and second quarters, with an additional $100M in cash restructuring charges potentially in 2019. Additionally, Osha said that it "seems clear" that the supply chain issues Itron faced in the third and fourth quarters of 2018 "are not quite over yet," but added that he believes Itron will "get to where it wants to be" with contract manufacturing.
