Colt CZ Group SE: enter Synthesia Nitrocellulose (stays BUY)

Following Colt CZ’s (COLT) preliminary FY25 earnings release and recent CMD, we update our valuation model and earnings forecasts, reflecting the company’s recent entry into the energetics market via the acquisition of a 51% controlling stake in Synthesia Nitrocellullose (NCL). Our updated 12M price target (PT) of CZK 1,445/share is now 55% higher, reflecting the highly cash-generative nature of NCL (operating with fully booked capacity until 2030, via lucrative “take-or pay” contracts) and our higher target valuation multiples, reflecting COLT’s growing exposure (post the NCL deal and consecutive military firearms contract wins over the past year) to the defence space. We maintain our BUY on the stock.
