On Monday, CalAmp Corp. (NASDAQ:CAMP) received an upgrade from Northland, shifting from a Market Perform rating to Outperform. The firm has set a new price target for CalAmp at $99.00. The action comes after a notable decline in the company's share value, which has dropped 39% from its peak, and currently stands 14% below the newly established price target.

The semiconductor capital equipment sector, where CalAmp operates, is expected to see the company outperform its peers in the coming year, according to Northland's assessment. This optimistic outlook is supported by the belief that an anticipated recovery in mobile phone demand could provide additional momentum to CalAmp's performance, potentially leading to results that exceed the firm's calendar year 2025 estimates.

Northland's analysis indicates that CalAmp is strategically well-placed within one of the fastest-growing segments of the industry. This positioning is seen as a key factor that could drive the company's success and justify the upgraded stock rating.

The upgrade and the new price target reflect a significant shift in Northland's view of CalAmp's potential market performance. The firm's commentary underscores a confidence in CalAmp's ability to navigate the current market dynamics and emerge stronger, particularly as it relates to the semiconductor capital equipment sector.

In other recent news, CalAmp Corp., a radio and TV broadcasting and communications equipment company, will transition to a privately held entity after the confirmation of its bankruptcy plan by the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware.

This restructuring plan, part of a prepackaged agreement with its creditors, includes the cancellation of all existing equity interests, with Lynrock Lake Master Fund LP set to acquire 100% of the new equity interests. General unsecured claims will continue as usual, with no specific number of new equity interests set aside for future issuance.

The plan also ensures the continuation of CalAmp's day-to-day operations and the preservation of its commercial and operational contracts. Post-emergence governance will see Cynthia Paul as the initial member of the reorganized board of directors, while current officers of CalAmp will maintain their roles. These are some of the recent developments in the company's restructuring efforts.
