Martino De Ambroggi has given his Buy rating due to a combination of factors that highlight Comer Industries SpA’s strategic growth potential. The company has recently announced a significant acquisition that is expected to enhance its presence in Asia and expand its product offerings in hydraulic technology. This acquisition is anticipated to increase Comer Industries’ sales by 30% and EBITDA by 14%, demonstrating a substantial growth opportunity.
Additionally, the entry price for this acquisition is considered reasonable, with an EV/EBITDA multiple of 5.5x for 2024, and it is expected to be immediately accretive to earnings per share. The strategic rationale behind the acquisition includes acquiring proprietary technology, geographic diversification, and potential cost synergies. Despite the challenges of integrating different industrial cultures, Comer Industries’ management has a proven track record of successful integrations, as seen with the WPG acquisition. Furthermore, the company’s strong financial structure and better-than-expected second-quarter results have led to an upward revision of estimates, reinforcing the Buy recommendation.
