Andrea Zampaloni has given his Buy rating due to a combination of factors including Industrie Chimiche Forestali SpA’s ability to maintain robust profitability despite challenges in the luxury market. The company demonstrated a strong performance in the second quarter of 2025, with a notable increase in EBITDA margin driven by reduced raw material costs and effective control over operating expenses. Additionally, despite a decline in revenue from the luxury sector, the company showed resilience with stable performance in the automotive sector and growth in packaging.
Furthermore, Zampaloni highlights the company’s strong free cash flow generation and a solid balance sheet, which are expected to support future shareholder returns. The forecasted increase in EPS for the fiscal years 2025-2026, along with the potential for a significant upside in the target price, reinforces the Buy rating. The company’s strategic initiatives and operational efficiencies are anticipated to sustain profitability levels, making it an attractive investment opportunity.
According to TipRanks, Zampaloni is ranked #7637 out of 10012 analysts.
