Marco Vitale has given his Buy rating due to a combination of factors that balance solid fundamentals with an appealing valuation. Gefran delivered results broadly in line with expectations, while cash generation exceeded forecasts thanks to better working capital management, leaving the group with a robust net cash position and financial flexibility.
At the same time, the company is investing around €20m over 2026–27 to expand production capacity, supporting its long-term growth potential despite a challenging macroeconomic backdrop. Even after trimming earnings estimates and slightly reducing the target price to €12.50, the shares still trade at a notable discount to Italian industrial small caps on EV/EBITDA multiples, which in Vitale’s view justifies maintaining a positive stance on the stock.
According to TipRanks, Vitale is a 3-star analyst with an average return of 5.4% and a 61.11% success rate.
