Hybrid Software Group 1Q25 trading update: Weak Printing Software reve...

Hybrid Software Group's 3Q24 results are weaker than expected both in top & bottom line. Coming from a strong 1H24 combined with an expected order uptick from the Drupa exhibition, flat revenues YoY are a surprise. We maintain our recommendation and TP for now, though do see some additional downside risk to our case.
