Kitron (Buy, TP: NOK40.00) - Still waiting for a market recovery

We are above consensus EBIT for Q4e by 14% and for 2025e by only 1%, as we remain cautious on sales growth in 2025. However, we are 8% above consensus EBIT for 2026e on solid growth, as inventory levels become fully depleted. While we are seeing signs of a market recovery, the stock’s recent gains may limit near-term upside potential. Nevertheless, we still expect the stock to re-rate, as the market gains confidence in sales momentum into 2026. Thus, we reiterate our BUY, and have raised our target price to NOK40 (37) on our higher 2026 estimates.
