GN Group (Buy, TP: DKK250.00) - Set to narrow Hearing guidance

We estimate Q1 organic growth of 8.4% YOY for GN Hearing (consensus 7.9%) and -5.1% YOY for GN Audio, with adj. EBITA margins of 6.4% for GN Hearing Core and 5.8% for GN Audio. We still believe 10% accelerated book build with a sale of 5.2m treasury shares linked to the convertible bond could take NIBD/EBITDA below 3x by end-2024e. We see narrowed GN Hearing guidance of 5–8% and a 14–16% adj. EBIT margin for GN Core. We reiterate our BUY and DKK250 target price.
