Corentin Marty has given his Buy rating due to a combination of factors that highlight A.L.A. S.p.A.’s strong financial performance and growth potential. The company recently reported half-year results that exceeded expectations, with a notable 20% increase in revenue to €166 million, surpassing the anticipated €159 million. This impressive revenue growth was accompanied by a significant 41% year-over-year rise in EBITDA, leading to a robust margin of 14.4%.
Furthermore, the company’s operational efficiency is evident in its gross margin improvements and effective cost control, contributing to a 73% increase in net income. Despite a rise in net debt due to higher working capital requirements, the overall financial outlook remains positive, prompting a revision of future revenue and EBITDA margin forecasts. Additionally, the anticipated takeover bid for the company’s shares at a premium price further supports the Buy recommendation.
