We have downgraded GEVORKYAN to HOLD (from Buy), with a new 12M price target (PT) of CZK 257/share, implying 11% upside. The share price is 6% below its July 2022 IPO price. We believe the relatively high IPO valuation (12.6x EV/EBITDA) and the prolonged capex cycle are the key reasons for the rerating of the stock closer to its CEE industrial peers. While the capex cycle has enabled GEVORKYAN to expand capacity, buy high-end machinery and sign a record number of contracts, it is still not over....
EME Equity Market – May 2025 EME indices mostly in the green in May, apart from Türkiye. The MSCI EM Europe Index added 3.6% mom in EUR and USD terms. The Greek ASE index (+7.8% mom) was the best performer, followed by the Czech PX (+6.6% mom) and Romanian BET indices (+5.0% mom), the Hungarian BUX (+4.0% mom) and the Polish WIG20 (+2.0% mom; all in EUR terms). The Turkish ISE30 Index was, again, the worst performer, with a more modest decline (-1.4% mom in EUR terms) this time.

GEVORKYAN has reported strong 1Q25 results, which exceeded our expectations, with EBITDA of EUR 8.4m, 15% above our estimate, and net profit of EUR 3.0m, double our forecast. The company achieved a record-high EBITDA margin of 40%, reflecting efficiency gains in lower costs of materials and energy. Despite the strong start to the year, GEVORKYAN maintained a conservative outlook, guiding for 2025E revenue growth of 9% yoy and an EBITDA margin of c.32%. In our view, this is cautious, particularly...

GEVORKYAN’s 4Q24 results came in lower than expected on operational metrics, primarily due to one-off expenses of EUR 0.7m related to machinery transfers and installations. Adjusted for this, the results would be broadly in line with our estimates. We continue to like GEVORKYAN’s strategic shift away from the automotive industry, as the company secures new contracts in defence and aviation. With the recent completion of its capex cycle, GEVORKYAN should now have sufficient capacity, which could ...

GEVORKYAN has delivered 3Q24 results that were broadly in line with our expectations. We highlight that the company managed to deliver an EBITDA margin of 32% (one of the best in its history) and should deliver on its 2024E adjusted EBITDA (adjusted for one-off expenses) guidance of EUR 28.1m. However, we believe that its 2024E reported EBITDA will be lower, at EUR 26.1-26.5m, but this is in line with our 2024E EBITDA, at EUR 26.4m. Based on its signed long-term contracts (99% signed, out of EUR...
