Q3 sales missed, owing to Enterprise and Gaming & Consumer performing below expectations, while EBITA was strong at DKK553m (c5.1% above consensus). The 2024 guidance was cut for organic growth to 1–2%, maintained for a 12–13% EBITA margin, and raised for FCF to DKK1.1bn+. With flat growth in headsets for two consecutive quarters, offset by a speakerphone decline, we now forecast -3% organic growth in 2024 (-2% in Q4). We reiterate our BUY and DKK230 target price.

GN Group recently released company consensus. We forecast Q3 organic revenue growth of 0.4% YOY (consensus -0.2%) and an EBITA margin of 12.5% (consensus 12.0%). We expect still-strong traction of Nexia, but Enterprise to decline organically YOY. We expect unchanged 2024 guidance for 2–6% organic revenue growth and a 12–13% EBITA margin. We reiterate our BUY and DKK230 target price.
Sonova’s launches were the main focus at the EUHA conference. While we are positive on the integration of AI technology, we question whether the larger size and reduced battery time will be well received by customers. We still expect to see traction for Nexia, and AI in the next platform. For Q3, we are slightly above post-Q2 company consensus and expect an unchanged 2024 guidance. We reiterate our BUY and DKK230 target price.
>Hearing with strong outperformance of underlying market - GN Hearing achieved a strong organic growth of 12% in the first half of 2024, which is a meaningful outperformance of the underlying hearing aid market, which grew at around 4% in our view. The driver behind the strong performance is the Resound Nexia hearing aid series, which has contributed to the strong development around the globe. We leave our segmental top-line forecast virtually unchanged but become mo...

Q2 missed on group sales and EBITA, due to Enterprise and Hearing performing below our forecasts and consensus. The 2024 guidance was confirmed, but management now expects organic growth in the ‘lower half’ for Enterprise and the ‘upper half’ for Hearing. We forecast Enterprise returning to YOY growth in Q4, but have trimmed our 2025e organic growth. We reiterate our BUY, but have cut our target price to DKK230 (245).
