Hold Rating Maintained on Industrie De Nora SpA Amidst Strong Q4 Performance and Cautious Outlook

Analyst Constantin Hesse of Jefferies maintained a Hold rating on Industrie De Nora SpA (DNR – Research Report), retaining the price target of €8.00.

Constantin Hesse has given his Hold rating due to a combination of factors impacting Industrie De Nora SpA. The company’s recent performance showed a strong fourth quarter with revenue and EBITDA surpassing expectations, driven by robust project execution in electrodes and water technologies. Additionally, the production efficiency improvements in the energy transition segment contributed positively to EBITDA.
However, despite these positive developments, Hesse remains cautious regarding the company’s risk-reward profile. The anticipation of subdued order momentum in the short term and shares trading at fair multiples for low to mid-single-digit growth suggest limited upside potential. Consequently, while the financial results are promising, the current market valuation of the shares justifies a Hold rating until further guidance is provided with the full-year results in March.
