The news check keeps the assessment current.
General analysis — not personal advice.
Keep the position; wait for the outcome of Latour’s book-build and the Q2 report before adding. Any weakness tied to the overhang may offer a better entry than buying ahead of the placement.
Strong profitability, cash flow and continued M&A strategy support the HOLD signal despite currency headwinds and regional weakness in Asia.
Sentiment remains predominantly positive around quality, margins and cash flow, but is tempered by currency headwinds, lowered estimates and a new ownership overhang from Latour’s planned sale.
HOLD is the call. Neutral is the market mood. Medium risk means some things can go wrong.
