BARCO - Pay for the cash, Clickshare and DC... and get the rest for free - Rating upgraded

We updated our model taking into account the potential effects of COVID-19. In Entertainment they will be hit hard (as customers are peers of Kinepolis and e.g. rental companies for big events like e.g. Eurovision Song Contest that will reduce Capex) but part of their sales is also HealthCare (where we do not expect lower investments in the coming years) and -although traditional Clickshare sales will be impacted (as less offices are open)- the awareness of the benefits of conferencing systems is growing. Recall that before COVID-19, Barco had a € 250m net cash position. We lower our Target Price to € 195 (was € 265) but increase our rating from ACCUMULATE to BUY.
