Buy

Reason

Roth Capital raised the firm's price target on Clearfield to $50 from $45 and keeps a Buy rating on the shares after the company's beat expectations, driven by Nestor, a European developer and manufacturer of cables. After the company maintained its prior FY25 outlook that implies flattish September sales before slower winter seasonality, the firm lowered its near-term expectations, but maintains its FY26 outlook.

downgrade

Outperform -> Market Perform

Reason

Northland analyst Tim Savageaux downgraded Clearfield to Market Perform from Outperform with an unchanged price target of $45 following the company's "solid" fiscal Q3 results and outlook. The firm notes continued weakness internationally at Nestor Cables and Nestor revenues set to decline nearly 20% in FY25 versus initial flat expectations. However, stabilizing revenue and reduced losses in FY26 are a potential tailwind along with reduced uncertainty around BEAD, the analyst added.
