Martino De Ambroggi has given his Hold rating due to a combination of factors linked to both company strengths and external risks. He acknowledges SBE-Varvit’s excellent operational performance, with margins at the high end of its sector, solid cash generation, and a robust balance sheet that justify valuation levels at or above those of its fastener peers.
However, he sees the ambitious 2026 growth targets as exposed to a fragile macroeconomic and geopolitical backdrop, particularly for cyclical end-markets, and therefore keeps more conservative assumptions than management. In addition, the absence of visible M&A catalysts and the very limited stock liquidity, pending actions to expand the free float, constrain upside potential at this stage and lead him to reiterate a neutral (Hold) stance.
In another report released on April 9, Kepler Capital also maintained a Hold rating on the stock with a €7.40 price target.
