Alfen Be Greedy when others are Fearful

In this note we increase our explicit forecast period for each segment and make small adjustments to our model. Revenue forecasts mainly decrease due to a weaker outlook for energy storage systems. For 2024 gross margin weakens due to the additional costs. However in the long run gross margin improves thanks to a better mix between the segments. Furthermore, we increase OpEx as 1Q24 results indicate that our previous estimate was too cautious. These factors lower our DCF based target from € 58 to € 52 per share. Given the strong upside of almost 50% and the historical low multiples we reiterate our BUY rating.
