- BWS Financial analyst Hamed Khorsand rated Xperi Holding Corp (NASDAQ:XPER) as a Top Pick, reiterating its Buy rating with a price target of $26.
- He saw Xperi accelerating its presence within connected TVs with the acquisition of Vewd Software.
- Two weeks after XPER raised guidance for cash flow from operations, the Company is putting its cash to work by acquiring technology to further its connected TV operating system (TVOS).
- Vewd Software is a middleware developer installed in more than 450 million connected TVs and devices.
- XPER is paying $109 million by using $59 million of its cash balance and $50 million in a seller’s note for the business projected in bankruptcy court filings to generate $33 million in revenue in 2022 and $37 million in 2023.
- The synergistic value of Vewd could be revealed to shareholders in the next 12 to 18 months when XPER begins to monetize Vewd’s install base.
- Additionally, any faster improvement of having a TVOS on the market would be materially positive to XPER.
- Price Action: XPER shares traded lower by 3.67% at $14.42 on the last check Wednesday.
