Updated: 28 Oct 2026 Base analysis: 6 Apr 2026

The news check keeps the assessment current.

General analysis — not personal advice.

HOLD Partly clear

Hold; consider adding after Q1 if organic growth and margins improve.

Qualitatively strong company with continued order-intake growth but temporary margin pressure from raw materials, tariffs and restructuring supports the hold signal.

Market sentiment Neutral ↓
Trend: Declining

Sentiment remains neutral with focus on margin pressure from raw materials, tariffs and restructuring despite positive analyst initiatives and institutional buying.

Risk assessment Medium
Dilution: Low Strong cash generation; no equity raise signaled
Jurisdiction: Medium International exposure incl. Brazil and US
Execution: Low Proven profitability and acquisition integration

HOLD is the call. Neutral is the market mood. Medium risk means some things can go wrong.

Outcome of price adjustments and tariff development
Bull case

Order intake is growing faster than revenue and price adjustments together with efficiency gains from the Czech consolidation can gradually improve margins.

Bear case

Margins are pressured by raw-material prices and tariffs plus delayed price compensation, and the restructuring may continue to cause cost disturbances in the near term.

Why this signal

Qualitatively strong company with continued order-intake growth but temporary margin pressure from raw materials, tariffs and restructuring supports the hold signal.

Recent news
