Kitron (Buy, TP: NOK37.00) - Margin recovery in sight

While revenues were broadly in line, EBIT significantly beat our estimate and consensus, as the company demonstrated its ability to adjust operations for lower demand. We expect the company to continue improving profitability and believe there is still upside potential as inventory levels continue to stabilise, which could prompt us to raise 2025e EPS. Thus, we reiterate our BUY and NOK37 target price.

Thus, we reiterate our BUY, but have cut our target price to NOK37 (42).
