Thin Film Electronics - Destocking holds back revenue development

Thinfilm’s results for the nine months ended September 2018 show that Q318 was adversely affected by the end-customer destocking of the anti-theft (EAS) tags. We therefore revise our estimates downwards and cut our indicative valuation from NOK1.92/share to NOK1.68p/share. However, we are encouraged that Apple recently launched iPhones with native background, NFC tag read functionality. This is generating renewed interest among brand owners for Thinfilm’s NFC solutions, underpinning management’s expectations of a strong NFC tag ramp-up during H219.
