BARCO: Company Note: On a sustainable profitable growth path

We welcome that through its dual focus on growth acceleration and judicious Opex spending, Barco added 2 percentage points to EBITDA margin for the third consecutive year. We welcome Barco’s plan to remain focused on capturing the growth opportunities in its markets based on a more competitive Barco, while continuing to invest in capabilities to grow into an outcome-based solutions business that leverages hardware, software and services capabilities. Barco expects a mid+ single digit topline growth and an improvement in EBITDA margin toward 15%. After this good set of results we increased today our Target Price to €265 while maintaining our Accumulate rating.
