Chloe Lemaire’s rating is based on a combination of factors including HENSOLDT AG’s recent guidance and future growth expectations. The company’s 2026 projections indicate a sales growth of approximately 10%, which falls short of the consensus expectation of 16%. Additionally, the anticipated 50 basis points improvement in EBITDA margin is below the consensus estimate of 85 basis points. This discrepancy suggests that the company’s near-term performance may not meet market expectations.
Moreover, while HENSOLDT AG has reaffirmed its 2030 sales ambition of €6 billion, including contributions from mergers and acquisitions, the expected cash conversion rate of over 40% is notably lower than the current consensus of 66%. Although the long-term outlook remains aligned with market expectations, the back-loaded growth profile and slightly weaker cash conversion guidance contribute to the Hold rating. These factors collectively indicate that while there is potential for future growth, the current projections warrant a cautious approach.
Lemaire covers the Industrials sector, focusing on stocks such as Airbus Group SE, MTU Aero Engines, and Rheinmetall. According to TipRanks, Lemaire has an average return of 37.6% and an 87.01% success rate on recommended stocks.
In another report released yesterday, Barclays also maintained a Hold rating on the stock with a €93.00 price target.
