ChemoMetec (Buy, TP: DKK640.00) - Solid Q3, but with mixed elements
With c26% revenue growth, Q3 was stronger than expected, with a solid beat on recurring revenue lines, although instruments fell just shy of our forecast, mainly related to new product launches that, despite a significant rise in customer validations in progress, take time. The maintained guidance implies only c5% YOY growth in Q4, but we believe management is being conservative. We reiterate our BUY and DKK640 target price.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.
