Analyst Chloe Lemaire from Jefferies maintained a Sell rating on HENSOLDT AG (HAG – Research Report) and keeping the price target at €60.00.
Chloe Lemaire’s rating is based on several financial metrics that suggest a cautious outlook for HENSOLDT AG. Despite a slight increase in revenue, the company’s EBITDA margins have declined more than anticipated, indicating potential profitability concerns. The year-over-year drop in margins, especially when excluding pass-through revenues, highlights operational challenges that could impact future earnings.
Additionally, while the company has maintained its guidance for 2025, the free cash flow remains negative, aligning with expectations but still posing a risk. Although there is an ambitious sales target set for 2030, the current financial performance raises questions about the company’s ability to achieve these long-term goals. These factors collectively contribute to the Sell rating given by Chloe Lemaire.
