Maxim Group reissued their hold rating on shares of RiceBran Technologies (NASDAQ:RIBT) in a report published on Friday morning.
“RIBT reported relatively inline 2Q18 results, including revenue slightly above the preannouncement from 7/9/18 and GAAP EPS inline with our estimate and consensus. Supply headwinds continue to negatively impact the company and as a result, RIBT lowered 2018 revenue guidance to $14M-$15M, from at least $16M. The Golden Ridge facility appears to be operational and we believe it is a strong possibility that RIBT will acquire the company during 2H18 to boost production capacity and realize cost efficiencies.”,” Maxim Group’s analyst commented.
