Theon International: Noctis in Dies* (BUY - initiation of coverage)

We initiate coverage of Amsterdam-listed Greek optronics company, Theon International Plc. (Theon) with a BUY and a 12M price target (PT) of EUR 37.60/share. Established in 1997, as a local supplier for the Greek defence market, Theon has evolved into the European market leader in military grade night vision (NV) and thermal imaging (TI) technologies, under the vision of its founder, Mr. Christianos Hadjiminas. As of 1Q25, the cumulative number of Theon’s optronic systems, delivered to 71 countries, stood at 200k. The company operates six plants in five countries and has offices/subsidiaries in eight countries (including a JV with Hensoldt). In FY22-24, Theon secured c.EUR 1.3bn of new contracts, mainly in Europe and the US, thanks to the rising importance of night fighting capabilities for the world’s militaries post the Ukraine war. Going forward, as Europe’s leading supplier in the dismounted optronics segment and one of the most prominent global players, we expect Theon to benefit strongly from accelerated growth in the man-portable defence optronics market and the adjacent platform-based optronics segment, while expanding its product portfolio and geographic reach.
