Kitron revises outlook for second half 2024

Kitron revises outlook for second half 2024 (2024-09-22) Reference is made to the outlook given in Kitron’s second-quarter report. The outlook for Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) sites has not picked up as expected. Several major customers within the market sectors Electrification and Industry have continued to reduce and postpone demand for the third and fourth quarters of 2024 as destocking continues and end markets have not developed as expected.  To facilitate further growth for the Nordic sites, where demand is strong, and stabilize the load for the CEE sites, several product tr...

Kitron justerer utsiktene for andre halvår 2024

Kitron justerer utsiktene for andre halvår 2024 (2024-09-22) Det vises til utsiktene som ble presentert i Kitrons rapport for andre kvartal. Utsiktene for Sentral- og Øst-Europa (CEE) har ikke bedret seg som forventet. Flere store kunder innen markedssektorene Elektrifisering og Industri har fortsatt å redusere og utsette etterspørselen for tredje og fjerde kvartal 2024 på grunn av fortsatt lagernedbygging og sluttmarkeder som ikke har utviklet seg som forventet.  For å legge til rette for ytterligere vekst for de nordiske anleggene, hvor etterspørselen er sterk, og stabilisere aktivi...

Kitron (Buy, TP: NOK42.00) - Recovery still in the early innings

While Q2 revenue was slightly below our estimate and consensus, EBIT significantly beat consensus, as Kitron demonstrated its ability to adjust operations for lower demand. Despite the recent re-rating of the stock, we argue there is still upside potential from a normalisation of downstream inventory levels and a more broad-based market recovery, which could prompt our 2025 estimates to move higher. Thus, we reiterate our BUY and have raised our target price to NOK42 (37).

Kitron (Buy, TP: NOK37.00) - Limited margin pressure in Q2e

While we have trimmed our 2024–2026e EBIT by 1%, we are 14% above consensus on operating profit for Q2e, as we forecast the EBIT margin to be in line with Q1 (adjusted for non-recurring items). In our view, the muted outlook for 2024 is priced in and we expect the stock to re-rate as channel inventory levels normalise, driving improvements in order intake. Thus, we reiterate our BUY and NOK37 target price.
