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.

Kitron (Buy, TP: NOK37.00) - Set for improved margins near-term

While we have cut our 2024–2026e EBIT by 12–11% following the recent profit warning, we are still 2–6% above consensus, reflecting our expectation of near-term margin improvements as the company restores profitability at its CEE sites on additional cost-cutting measures and the process of moving customers to free up capacity for defence being finalised. Thus, we reiterate our BUY, but have cut our target price to NOK37 (42).

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...
