ONTEX : It’s always darkest before the dawn

We upgrade Ontex to BUY and raise our TP to € 18.0. Ontex’ share price is at historic lows levels and the discount to peers is reaching fresh troughs as confidence in Ontex’ ability to manage the current situation has evaporated. However, we see the recent shareholder activism as the much needed electroshock. In this report we have looked at different possible paths to unlock value and we argue that today share price offers an interesting opportunity. As timing is uncertain but catalysts are plentiful, we think it’s better to be too early than too late.
