Iron Mountain Incorporated (NYSE: IRM)‘s stock had its “neutral” rating reaffirmed by Zacks in a research note issued on Monday. They currently have a $32.00 price target on the stock.
Zacks’ analyst wrote, “Iron Mountain reported a modest first quarter with earnings coming in line with the Zacks Consensus Estimate, but the top line fell short. Revenue failed to beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate in spite of a year-on-year increase of 0.7%. The company recorded strong performance in the International business segment and persistent growth in the North America business, which positively impacted Storage revenue for the quarter. However, a slump in activity-based core service revenues and lower prices of recycled paper offset the robust hybrid revenue and rise in revenues from projects in the Service revenue. In the long run, we expect tepid internal growth coupled with volatile foreign exchange rates and a decline in paper price that is set to partially negate the company’s promising product portfolio, strong market share and a promising International business segment. Thus, we have a Neutral recommendation on the stock with a target price of $32.00. “
