Q3 was another messy quarter
Getinge reported Q3 2017 earnings on 18 October. The overall results were clearly weaker than both we and the market expected. The only bright spot in the report was the order intake, which came in slightly above consensus and slightly below our forecast. We reiterate our HOLD recommendation and have adjusted the target price to SEK151 (SEK155) on the Q3 report and the recently completed rights issue.Getinge is engaged in three business areas: Medical Systems, Extended Care and Infection Control.
