(Sharecast News) - Jefferies initiated coverage of AIM-listed Cohort on Monday with a 'hold' recommendation and a 1,290p price target, which implies around 11% upside.

The bank said Cohort offers differentiated exposure to longercycle marine and land defence programmes through a portfolio of niche technology businesses, and has delivered sector-leading top-line growth since FY21, aided by M&A.

"The current valuation, however, provides limited leeway for EBITA margin disappointment which is the key negative risk we highlight," it said.

At 1427 BST, the shares were down 3% at 1,090p.
