Palfinger raised to BUY, TP EUR 36.5 - The return of growth

Despite the recent cyber-attack which the group meanwhile has largely overcome, Palfinger announced encouraging financial targets for FY 21e
The management envisages close-to-record revenues and, judging by the implied 20% drop through rate, a well underpinned operating margin objective of 8%
Trading conditions have reached an inflection point in recent months, which is also substantiated by a much-improved order momentum of its rival Hiab in Q4
The reversal of the 7.5% cross-holding with Sany could be a positive. The condition that the closing price of Palfinger shares reaches EUR 31.35 is within reach
As regards the FY 20 results release on February 25 we expect Palfinger to deliver on the guidance (EBIT EUR 100 mn) and project a strong cash conversion
