JDC Group AG AG (ISIN DE000A0B9N37, Open Market, JDC GY) once again recorded double-digit revenue growth in Q3 2023, with quarterly EBITDA doubling. The outlook was confirmed, with a clarification towards the lower end of the range. The background to this is that the already difficult macro environment (Ukraine war, inflation, consumer restraint) has been compounded by the resurgence of the Middle East conflict, which could impact the typically strong year-end business. Should this occur, we believe that it will essentially be a temporary effect - strategically, JDC remains on track, with sales growth accompanied by disproportionately high increases in earnings. With a P/E2023 ratio of 71,9, the company is priced more attractively than its peers (92,5) - as announced on 10 November 2023, the company would like to take this opportunity and buy back its own shares for up to € 5 million.

Our fundamental analysis results in a value of € 18,40. The peer group analysis based on 2023 and 2024 results in an average value of € 27,01. Equally weighted, this results in a Fair Value per share of € 22.71.
