The Company will publish its Group-wide strategy later this year and introduce an employee shareholder pr...
We remain Buy-rated on Waberer’s and we massively increase our 2023 e-o-y TP to 4,800 HUF/sh from 3,990 HUF/sh, implying an 87% upside potential. Structural improvements, sustainable profitability and conscious growth together underpin our view that Waberer’s is dirt cheap and one of the most undervalued growth stocks in the CEE region. Waberer’s trades at a FY24 P/E of 3.6x and EV/EBITDA of 3.2x, on our estimates. Waberer’s achieved a record semi-annual profit in the first half of 2023 as all...

All threebusiness segments continued to increase their profitability on both a quarterly and halfyearly basis. At EBIT level, results were positively distorted by the impact of the out-ofcourt settlement, which was announced earlier this year, while net level was also favourablyaffected by a non-realized FX gain of EUR 4.7mn. As a resul...

Waberer's posted a record quarterly EBIT of EUR 10.6mn (+33% YoY) at Group level for Q2/22, fuelled by improving ITS and Other segments. However, net income totalled EUR 2.5mn in Q2/22 vs. 6.1mn a year earlier, dragged down by non-cash FX revaluation of balance sheet items and also a non-cash deferred tax (both totalled EUR 4.1mn). Importantly, the management stated that “neither the war in Ukraine, nor the increasing inflation generated significant industrial production or retail trade decrea...
We remain Buy-rated on Waberer’s, however, we lift our TP to 3,990 HUF/sh from 3,400 HUF/sh, leaving an 84% upside potential to the previous closing. The Management has started to execute strategy, thus we see signs of gradual operational improvement. Given that the management guided ambitious mid-term goals, we upgraded our forecasts, but we modelled lower earnings than the guidance due to deteriorating macro outlook. Long-term story: Waberer’s is well on track to gain efficiency and to reac...
Waberer's posted a net income of EUR 1.7mn at Group level for Q1/22 vs. EUR 2.7mn a year ago due to a non-realized FX loss. However, EBIT came in at EUR 4.6mn in Q1 compared to EUR 4.5mn in the same period of last year, which translated into a tiny 1% gain. As was expected, all 3 segments reached same level of EBIT due to the seasonal effects, but EBIT margin shrunk by 30bps YoY to 2.9% on cost inflation. The management remained confident that they could perform well over the next quarters as ...

Waberer's reported a net income for Q4 of 5.9mn, resulting in a net income of EUR 18.1mnin 2021. Overall, earnings surprised to the upside as we expected a net income of EUR15mn for 2021. This report just cement our view that the Company has a compellingrisk/reward profile as shares in Waberer’s trade at a 41% discount to our TP of HUF 3,400as of writing. Considering the stable operations and a successful restructuring,undervaluation of the stock is fully unreasonable.
Waberer’s hosted a Capital Market Day on the 2nd of December where the managementcame up with an ambitious growth plan for the period between 2022 and 2025. Based onthe guidance, the management foresees revenues of EUR 807mn and EBIT of EUR 49mnby 2025, however they didn’t give an accurate projection for 2022, 2023 and 2024. Theyalso suggested that Group EBIT will likely come in at around EUR 20mn this year, which isbelow our estimate. We leave our recommendation on BUY with a TP of 3,400 HUF/sh...
