Vistance Networks: The RUCKUS Sale Leaves A Cheap And Clean Company

The Curious Analyst 5.23K Followers Follow Summary I'm reiterating Vistance Networks at a Buy rating with a $12.2 post-distribution price target, reflecting a 52% upside including a $5 special distribution. VISN's thesis shifts to a cash-rich broadband infrastructure play, with earnings temporarily depressed by memory chip costs and stranded expenses expected to normalize by 2028. Key growth drivers include the DOCSIS 4.0 upgrade cycle, investment in adjacent technologies (PON, vBNG, security), and significant operating leverage from cost normalization. Using a 10x EV/EBITDA multiple on the midpoint of management's $225 million Aurora adj-EBITDA, with $725 million of expected cash, I arrive at a $12.2 post-distribution price target. The $12.20 price target does not include the $5 special distribution shareholders are set to receive. Adding that distribution gives me an economic value of $17.20 per current VISN share, compared with the current $11.31 share price. J.
