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).

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...
