Barco Uphill battle continues
3Q24 orders and sales were below our and CSS forecasts with main underperformance in Entertainment. Although Barco sees gradual recovery, led by the Healthcare division and the Americas region, while market conditions in EMEA remain challenging, we already lower our Target Price to € 14.2 (was € 15.8). We (and CSS) will have to lower our forecasts as Barco now expects a topline in 2H24 around the level of last year (previously it was “topline growth in the second half”).
