ChemoMetec (Buy, TP: DKK540.00) - More than on track
The Q1 results were much stronger than expected, even after the increased full-year guidance in October, which now already looks conservative to us. In our view, this looks like a ‘beat and raise’ strategy, and we would not be surprised to see several guidance increases as new products increasingly contribute and end-markets continue to improve, which, considering the operating leverage, could drive significant positive consensus earnings revisions. We reiterate our BUY and have raised our target price to DKK540 (505).Chemometec A/S is a Denmark-based company engaged in the development, manufacture and sale of analytical instruments used for quantitative analysis of cells in liquids.
