Kone (Hold, TP: EUR46.00) - Elevator down, escalator up

We have slightly lowered our 2024–2026e clean EPS following the decent Q1 orders and earnings, and 2024 sales and clean EBIT guidance in line with our forecasts. We reiterate our HOLD and EUR46 target price.

Satisfactory delivery in a slow market

Mostly in line; orders 4% below, EBIT 3% above. Specified guidance close to estimates; adj. EBIT +0-2%. Mildly reassuring resilience but limited excitement in stock.

In-line Q1, set up for good earnings growth

Q1 in line, marking low point of growth. Solid earnings growth at reasonable valuation - BUY.
