Komax Group : Intact megatrends – but global car production and China present challenges

Komax, as the global leading wire processing equipment producer (estimated 69% global market share for automation solutions), faces multiple challenges, with muted global car production, bad investment sentiment among its clients, and increasing Chinese competition. Komax has implemented extensive measures to optimize its cost structure and increase its presence in China (18% of 2024e sales). Despite the significant share price decline, we regard the risk-reward profile as unappealing for now and are initiating coverage with a Neutral rating (TP CHF 75).
