paragon - Risk reduction should relieve the equity rating
paragon appears to be progressively de-risking its investment proposition. The agreed sale of Semvox crystallises an enterprise value (EV) that highlights the depressed market cap due to the debt burden. The accelerated redemption of the entire Swiss franc (CHF) bond issue and half the Eurobond reduces debt metrics to typical industrial levels, and we expect improving cash flows to facilitate final redemption in 2027. The result is an apparently anomalous rating for paragon compared to its estimated cash valuations and peers. Assuming the disposal completes and the bonds are redeemed as anticipated, the crushed equity value of recent years should finally be relieved.Paragon develops, produces and sells electrical, electronic, and electromechanical components, devices, and systems for the automotive industry. Co.'s segments include Sensors, which develops and markets solutions for air quality within the vehicle cabin; Acoustics, which develops and markets products designed to ensure the transmission of speech from its point of origination to its destination; Cockpit, which develops and markets products for the cockpit; Electromobility, which develops and markets battery packs for utility vehicles and buses; and Body Works Kinematics, which develops and markets technical solutions for the moving parts of the automobile body, both exterior and interior.
