HMS Networks (Buy, TP: SEK540.00) - Red(y) to roar
We have upgraded HMS Networks to BUY (SELL) and raised our target price to SEK540 (450) as: 1) we have increased our 2024–2025e adj. EPS by 5–15% and like Red Lion’s strategic fit; 2) we see investor focus shifting to improving QOQ orders; 3) restructuring programmes have historically marked an end-market trough; 4) 2025e multiples are digestible, and we see a good entry point; and 5) we expect the stock to close the gap to the PHLX semiconductor index.HMS Networks AB (HMS) is a Sweden-based company engaged in the provision of communication technology for industrial automation.
