Agfa “Shrinking Business” & “Not-So-Growth Engines”

After three quarters, Agfa's 9M25 “Mature Business” (Radiology and Film DPC) sales dropped -6.4% y/y, driven by the accelerating medical film decline. While its “Growth Engines” (HealthCare IT, Digital Printing Solutions, Green Hydrogen Solutions) are intended to offset this, they also fell -0.9% y/y in the first nine months.

We remain cautious (Hold; €1.0 Target Price) until strategic measures deliver and growth engines regain momentum.
