Appen's Cost Control Keeps Its Losses Manageable -- Market Talk

Dow Jones05-27

2303 GMT - Appen's strict cost management is keeping the data-management provider's underlying losses under control, Jefferies analyst Wei Sim writes in a note. He tells clients that the Australia-listed company's cost reduction is on track, and highlights improved underlying earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization in April. That's the first month since the end of Appen's long-running partnership with Google, he notes. Sim lifts his 2025 and 2026 EPS targets by 1% and 4%, respectively. Jefferies's target price on the stock rises by 33% to A$0.60/share. It maintains a hold rating. Shares are at A$0.605 ahead of the open. (stuart.condie@wsj.com)
