Barco We took ‘One Look' at Barco an decided to lower the barrier
In 1H24, Barco's business was impacted by customer destocking in the Meeting Experience and Healthcare segments. In Entertainment, customers delayed investments as a result of a weak film slate and in anticipation of Barco's upcoming product launches.
While visibility remains low, Barco has reason to look forward to a very different 2H24. But we now think it will be even more back-end loaded and somewhat milder than we originally expected.
We maintain our positive stance - albeit with a slightly lower Target Price of €15.8 (average of our DCF and SOTP) - as Barco continues to invest in its innovation pipeline in preparation for further product launches in FY25 and beyond.
