▲(3.50% Upside)
Action:Downgraded
Date:07/30/26
The score is primarily supported by strong, stable profitability and generally solid cash generation, but is held back by a clearly bearish technical setup (price below all major moving averages) and a relatively high P/E with only a modest dividend yield. Rising leverage versus 2024 is an additional risk factor.
Positive Factors
Margin sustainability
Legrand's consistently high gross and operating margins indicate durable pricing power and efficient manufacturing/portfolio mix. Stable near-20% EBIT supports reinvestment and returns even through cycles, underpinning long-term profitability and resilience versus peers.
Negative Factors
Rising leverage
Leverage increase to ~0.85x debt/equity reduces financial flexibility and raises interest and refinancing risk if macro conditions worsen. Even with solid ROE, higher debt limits capacity for opportunistic investment and heightens downside vulnerability over the medium term.
