Signify reported a broadly in-line 4Q23 update with slightly weaker organic growth but better margins. In our view, the update showed once again the challenging market in the lighting industry. High demand for energy efficient connected solutions cannot offset the cyclical weakness and weak dynamics of the non-connected segment. High FCF-yield remains an attraction of the case, but we do not believe it will trigger a re-rating. We slightly increase our target price to €28 (from €26) and reiterat...

>4Q23 results in line with consensus expectations - Results in line with consensus, which is slightly disappointing to us as we hoped for a sequential improvement taking the easing comparable base into account. Despite the lack of sequential progress on the top line we note that the rest of the release is in line with expectations. Top line CSG was in line with consensus and came in at minus 7.7%. However the FX impact was more severe than expected coming in at minus...

2024 is set to be less impressive than 2023 (comparison bases, persistent inflation and tougher price hikes). We continue to play the green Capex theme and remain cautious on the construction segment. After the end-of-year rally, we see more limited re-rating potential. Based on our 2024 guidance scenarios, our Top Picks are Atlas Copco, Schneider Electric and Siemens (green Capex exposure, potential for earning upgrades over the course of the year). We have downgraded Rexel to Neutra...
