Bekaert Feedback conference call

Below are the highlights of the conference call. We remind that Bekaert's 3Q sales came in below our and consensus forecasts while the FY23 sales and uEBIT margin guidance are also below our expectations, with at midpoint of the range uEBIT guidance falling 3% short to our forecasts and 4% short to consensus. Despite the tougher short term momentum, we maintain our BUY rating on the attractive valuation and strong balance sheet, with a second € 120m share buyback program currently in execution.
