Taglich Brothers Releases Updated Coverage on Cosmos Health: Projects Positive EPS for 2025 and Sets $3 Price Target, Nearly 300% Above Current Share Price

CHICAGO, IL / ACCESSWIRE / November 26, 2024 / Cosmos Health Inc. (“Cosmos Health” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ:COSM), a diversified, vertically integrated global healthcare group engaged in innovative R&D, owner of proprietary pharmaceutical and nutraceutical brands, manufacturer and distributor of healthcare products, and operator of a telehealth platform, announced today that, on November 25, 2024, Taglich Brothers, Inc. (“Taglich”) published an updated research report on the Company’s common stock.

Key highlights from Taglich’s report include:

• Speculative Buy rating with a $3 price target, suggesting a fourfold increase in the share price over the next 12 months.

• Significant growth projected, with FY 2025 revenue expected to rise by 25%, reaching $68.4 million, up from an estimated $54.7 million in FY 2024.

• Key growth drivers include investments in Cana Laboratories, projected to generate over $10 million in recurring annual gross profit at full capacity, alongside expanded distribution agreements for the Company’s nutraceutical and disinfectant brands, including C-Sept, across Europe and the Middle East.

  Cost rationalization program, initiated in the second half of 2024, is expected to boost gross margin to 19.4% (up from 8.7% in 2023) and improve operating expense margin to 18.6% (down from 24.5% in 2023).

• Positive net income and earnings per share (EPS) of $235,000 and $0.01, respectively, are anticipated in 2025, accompanied by positive adjusted EBITDA of $3.5 million and positive net cash provided by operating activities of $1.8 million. This marks a significant improvement compared to the forecast for FY 2024, which projected a net loss of $15 million, or ($0.78) per share, negative adjusted EBITDA of $3 million, and negative cash from operating activities of $2.1 million.

• Trading at a discount to sector benchmarks: Trailing price-to-sales multiple stands at 0.2x, significantly below the sector average of 2.1x for companies in the medical distribution and drug manufacturing industries.

• Valuation expected to improve as the Company achieves forecasted 25% revenue growth in 2025, reduces expenses, transitions to operating profitability, and begins generating positive cash earnings, with investors likely to assign a multiple closer to sector averages.

• Price target methodology: To arrive at a year-ahead price target of approximately $3.00 per share, Taglich applied a 1.3x price-to-sales multiple to their 2025 sales forecast of $2.92 per share, factoring in execution risks and potential dilution from warrant exercises.

Greg Siokas, CEO of Cosmos Health, stated: “I am pleased that Taglich Brothers’ analysis aligns with our internal projections. Their report highlights the value in our strategic plan, underpinned by a projected 25% revenue growth in 2025. This growth is driven by key initiatives, including new contract manufacturing agreements at Cana and the global expansion of our proprietary brands. Taglich also underscores the significance of our cost rationalization efforts and strategic investments. Combined with robust revenue growth, these initiatives are expected to result in positive operating cash flow and positive EPS in 2025, marking a pivotal inflection point for Cosmos. Importantly, Taglich has set a price target of $3 per share, representing a fourfold increase from our current share price. Bridging this gap remains a top priority.”
