Constantin Hesse’s rating is based on several compelling factors that highlight Krones AG’s potential for growth and value. The company has demonstrated solid execution and maintains a robust balance sheet, which are crucial for sustaining growth. Additionally, Krones is well-positioned to capitalize on the expanding packaged beverage market, particularly in segments like PET, glass, and can packaging. These formats are experiencing rapid growth, driven by increasing demand for bottled water, carbonated soft drinks, and ready-to-drink beverages.
Furthermore, Krones’ focus on modular systems and fast changeover technology supports SKU growth and production flexibility, aligning well with evolving customer capital expenditure strategies. The company’s emphasis on automation and sustainability also positions it favorably in the market. Despite these strengths, Krones trades at a valuation that is significantly below its historical averages and at a discount compared to peers, offering an attractive entry point for investors. This combination of strategic alignment with market trends and favorable valuation metrics underpins Hesse’s Buy rating for Krones AG.
In another report released on August 30, TR | OpenAI – 4o also reiterated a Buy rating on the stock with a €147.00 price target.
