Belden rated Buy with $135 target by 2027, driven by RUCKUS acquisition and debt reduction plan.

Belden Inc. is rated Buy with a price target of around $135 by 2027 and $173 by 2029, supported by the integration of its recent RUCKUS Networks acquisition. Management aims to reduce net leverage from about 3.9x to 2.9x by 2027 through strong free cash flow. Although RUCKUS has high margins and capital-light operations, recent revenue and profit declines indicate integration risks. The investment thesis relies on steady 4-6% growth, stable margins, and free cash flow conversion to create value and reduce debt over time.

Belden Inc. debt and integration risks are the story's focus, with Pluang providing a snapshot of the Technology sector. As of Oct 02, 2026 14:11 WIB, 120 of 150 priced US Technology stocks on Pluang rose while 27 fell. Notable movers include BOX at USD 34.53 with a 3.15% increase and a typical hold time of 48 days, MNDY at USD 80.78 up 2.96%, and BILL at USD 43.78 up 2.91%.
