Palfinger confirmed at BUY, TP EUR 44 - Encouraging mid- and long-term growth targets

Q3 results that were confirmative for the FY 21 guidance and Palfinger gave a comforting longer-term outlook at the Capital Markets Day
Palfinger also presented a more optimistic growth trajectory until 2024, raising the revenue target to EUR 2.3 bn from EUR 2.0 bn. However, as the growth ambitions require multiple measures/projects that will spur structural costs the 10% EBIT margin threshold is unlikely to be reached earlier
We have marginally reduced our operating profit projections owing to cost inflation and supply chain inefficiencies but broad-based demand strength, high capacity utilisation and convincing pricing power should safeguard earnings growth
The unwinding of the cross-shareholding with Sany, which we regard as a potential trigger, is still in the making
We affirm the BUY recommendation on Palfinger amid a slight target price increase to EUR 44 from EUR 42.5
