Filippo Migliorisi has given his Buy rating due to a combination of factors that highlight the potential of Italian Wine Brands S.p.A. Despite a 6.3% decline in revenue to €401.9 million, the company achieved a historic record in its adjusted EBITDA margin, which increased by 225 basis points year-over-year to 12.5%. This improvement reflects the company’s successful product mix strategy, which focuses on higher-margin products and has been effective in adapting to market trends.
Furthermore, the company’s strategic decisions have played a crucial role in this positive outlook. These include concentrating production to reduce fixed costs, optimizing purchases to strengthen bargaining power, and accelerating sales of top brands. Additionally, the company’s solid cash position, representing 53% of its adjusted EBITDA, supports its financial stability. These factors combined with a positive forecast for growth and a revised target price of €33.6 affirm the potential of the stock, justifying the Buy recommendation.
