Sika : Start of the year in line

>Q1 2024 sales in line with forecasts - Q1 2024 sales came in at CHF 2.648bn (+0.2% l-f-l and +13.8% in real terms), in line with the consensus (CHF 2.636bn est.) and 3% ahead of our expectations (CHF 2.567bn).

The working days effect was negative to the tune of -1.5% in Q1. In the EMEA division, Middle East/A...

Sidetrade : Promising start to the year Solid Q1 and a transformative ...

>Excellent Q1 at all levels, ahead of our expectations on the top line and bookings - Sidetrade this morning reported (ahead of schedule) very good Q1 2024 sales, a shade ahead of our expectations. Quarterly business totalled € 11.8m (vs ODDO BHF € 11.4m), up 20% y-o-y and 15.5% organically (excl. CreditPoint Software). This performance is obviously still driven by SaaS subscriptions (82% of sales), with, essentially, another marked increase in the US (+40%), and in c...

>Q1 2024 revenue down 11% to € 28.3m, missing our expectations - Ekinops published yesterday evening € 28.3m in Q1 revenue, down 11% YoY, missing our expectations (ODDO BHF € 30.3m, -5%) and in line with the trend seen in Q3 and Q4 2023 (€ 27.8m and € 30.3m respectively). The decline was due to a 27% fall in Transport, as a result of: 1/ an unfavourable base effect (+32% a year earlier), 2/ cautious capex policies and 3/ existing operator inventories and 4/ a wait-an...

Fastned : Q1 sequential growth disappoints

>Energy sold in Q1 up 52% y-o-y but slightly below Q4 - Energy sold +52% y-o-y but below Q4. Fastned in 24Q1 grew its energy volume sold by 52% y-o-y to 31.4 GWh, again stronger than the growth in the EV fleet (+43%), but was slightly down from 32.2 GWh in 23Q4 (still +80% y-o-y). On the EV market it expects: “ Prospects for sales in 2024 and beyond remain positive as EV fleet penetration is expected to more than double by 2026 and increase five-fold by 2030.”Act...

ODDO BHF SECURITIES MORNING NEWS – COMMENTAIRES DETAILLES 16/04/2024

Nous initions le segment des équipementiers miniers avec Metso à Surperformance, Sandvik à Neutre et Epiroc à Sous-performance. Nous adoptons un scénario prudent avec une demande stable ou en légère hausse à court terme (CA des activités minières en hausse moyenne de 3% entre 2024 et 2026), dans l’attente de signaux positifs indiquant un rebond des investissements greenfield (pas avant 2027 selon nous). Dans ce scénario, nous estimons que Metso devrait confirmer les progrès réalisés e...

Ekinops: Reversal in divisional dynamics

Ekinops has reported an 11% decline in revenue for Q1 2024, consistent with the performance observed in H2 2023.

Campari : Q1 24 preview: fresh downward adjustments

>Underperform rating maintained and target price cut to € 8.6 from € 9.6 - We maintain our Underperform rating on Campari. The ongoing EPS downgrades account for the stock’s performance in recent months. The main culprit is higher interest expense with the acquisition of Courvoisier, its integration being a source of uncertainty in the short term. Also, operating margins will be under pressure in FY 24e, bearing in mind the latter is still short of its pre-Covid level...
