TaskUs (TASK) stock price offers a lucrative entry point, and the company is positioned to capitalize on the expansion of artificial intelligence automation in labor, Wedbush said in a Wednesday research report.

The brokerage's discussion with an AI automation expert showcased the company as an acquisition target, given its long-standing client base, industry specialization, and early entry into AI data labeling and annotation, analysts wrote.

The company's AI services are benefiting from "tangible" tailwinds, with Meta Platforms' (META) acquisition of Scale AI likely driving rivals to move businesses to TaskUs, according to the note.

Synergies between the company's digital customer experience, AI services, and safety divisions create "stickier" client relations underappreciated by the markets, according to Wedbush.

The brokerage said it reiterated its outperform rating on the stock and price target of $14 per share.
