Harvia (Buy, TP: EUR53.00) - Achieving where it matters most
Although Q3 sales missed consensus, probably due to a weak Finland (hot tub sales in particular), the results were solid in developing sauna markets, North America and APMEA, supporting a clean EBIT margin of 22.9% (c180bp above consensus) and resulting in above-consensus profits. We believe the strong penetration in these lucrative markets is poised to grow further, indicating undervalued earnings potential. We reiterate our BUY and EUR53 target price following minor estimate changes.Harvia Oyj is a Finland-based sauna and spa company.
