With the exception of the US, construction markets should continue to shrink in 2024 (-2% in Europe) before rebounding on the back of lower interest rates. Against this backdrop, groups will be differentiated mainly on the basis of their resilience (geographical and price/cost mix), capital allocation (and special situations) and valuation. In this context, we are upgrading our recommendations on KONE (modernisation as an alternative source of growth to China) and Holcim (a substantia...
Hormis les Etats-Unis, les marchés de la construction devraient continuer à reculer en 2024 (-2% en Europe) avant de rebondir à la faveur d’une baisse des taux. Dans ce contexte, la différenciation entre les groupes se fera essentiellement sur leur capacité de résistance (mix géographique et prix/ coûts), l’allocation du capital (et situations spéciales) et leur valorisation. Face à cet environnement, nous relevons nos recommandations sur KONE (la modernisation comme relais de la Chin...
>FY 2023 results and FCF sharply up, first dividend of € 0.30 per share - VusionGroup (formerly SES-imagotag) published yesterday evening its 2023 results, which were up sharply, exceeded expectations. With previously reported revenues up 29% to € 802m, the margin on variable costs (MCV) came in at 25.2% (vs 24.6%e.), up 4.3bp thanks to improved component purchase prices, the EUR/USD exchange rate effect and the VAS mix (more recurring business). Despite a higher opex...
>Forte progression des résultats et du FCF. Premier dividende à 0.30 € - VusionGroup (ex SES-imagotag) a publié hier soir des résultats 2023 en forte progression et au-dessus des attentes. Pour un CA déjà publié en hausse de 29% à 802 M€, la marge sur coûts variables (MCV) s’établit à 25.2% (vs 24.6%e) en hausse de 4.3 pt grâce à l’amélioration des prix d’achats des composants, l’effet du change e/$ ainsi qu’au mix VAS (plus de récurrence). Malgré un ratio Opex/CA en ...

>A clear ramp-up in the US in 2024, offsetting a more challenging base effect in Europe - SES-imagotag has been renamed VusionGroup (change approved at the AGM of 23 June 2023). Although Europe is set to continue to grow in 2024 but is facing a tougher comparison base (notably due to the Lidl roll-out), the US is expected to post very strong growth, and as of 2024 should be the main contributing country to the group’s revenues. This is notably thanks to the WMT roll-...
>Franche accélération des US en 2024 qui compense un effet de base plus challenging en Europe - SES-imagotag a été renommé VusionGroup (changement approuvé à l’AG du 23/06/23). Alors que l’Europe devrait rester en croissance en 2024 mais fait face à une base de comparaison plus difficile (notamment en raison du rollout Lidl), les US sont attendus en très forte croissance et devraient être dès 2024 le principal pays contributeur aux revenus du groupe, notamment grâce ...

>Slower momentum in Q3, as expected - SESL reported yesterday after trading Q3 2023 sales of € 183m, flat relative to the same period in 2022, versus our estimate for € 194m (+7% y-o-y). Back in September, management had announced that seasonal factors would come into play in H2, weighted towards Q4. It turns out that the seasonal swing was stronger than we had expected but does not undermine full-year guidance, which we actually think will be marginally exceeded. Ni...
>Dynamique plus faible sur le T3 comme anticipé - SESL a publié hier soir son CA T3 qui est ressorti flat + y-o-y à 183 M€ (nous anticipions 194 M€e i.e. +7% y-o-y). Le management avait souligné en septembre qu’il y aurait une saisonnalité sur le S2 en faveur du T4, cette saisonnalité est un peu plus forte que ce que nous anticipions mais ne remet pas en cause la guidance FY qui devrait être légèrement dépassée. Sur 9 mois cumulés, le CA atteint 474 M€ en hausse de 2...

Après une sous-performance de plus de 20% sur 12 mois par rapport au secteur, Geberit se traite désormais avec une légère décote vs ses multiples historiques (VE/EBIT 24e de 21.1x). Mais, le rebond des mises en chantier reste incertain en Europe, même si nous estimons que le momentum devrait progressivement s’améliorer dans les mois à venir, et que le groupe va retrouver peu à peu des bases de comparaison plus faciles. Opinion relevée à Neutre vs Sous-performance, OC relevé à 462 CHF....
After underperforming the sector by more than 20% over the last 12 months, Geberit is now trading at a slight discount to its historical multiples (EV/EBIT 2024e of 21.1x). That said, the rebound in housing starts in Europe remains uncertain, even though momentum should gradually improve over the coming months, in our view, and the group will gradually return to less demanding comparative bases. Recommendation upgraded to Neutral vs Underperform, target price lifted to CHF 462. - ...
