Chloe Lemaire’s rating is based on several compelling factors. The recent financial results of Dassault Aviation showed a notable increase in defense-related revenues, surpassing expectations by 11%, which indicates a strong performance in this sector. Additionally, the company’s operational income exceeded forecasts by 3%, reflecting efficient management and operational execution.
Another significant factor contributing to the Buy rating is the impressive free cash flow, which was bolstered by substantial net advances amounting to €2.56 billion. Despite ongoing supply chain challenges, particularly with the Falcon line, the company has maintained its guidance, and the ramp-up of Rafale exports is progressing well. These elements collectively suggest a positive outlook for Dassault Aviation, justifying the Buy recommendation.
