Rating:77Outperform
Price Target:
€192.00
▲(7.32% Upside)
Action:Reiterated
Date:07/30/26
The score is driven primarily by solid underlying financial quality (strong free cash flow generation and improving leverage), balanced against uncertainty from the sharp 2025 revenue decline and margin inconsistency. Technicals are supportive with the stock trading well above major moving averages, and valuation is reasonable with a low P/E and a moderate dividend yield.
Positive Factors
Strong cash generation
Operating cash flow of about €526M and free cash flow of about €491M in 2025, with FCF-to-net-income conversion of roughly 0.81–0.93 across 2022–2025, demonstrates recurring capacity to fund investment, debt service, and shareholder returns.
Negative Factors
Sharp 2025 revenue decline
The sharp reported revenue decline after broadly flat performance raises questions about demand, project timing, scope changes, or reporting comparability. If sustained, weaker top-line momentum could reduce utilization, limit operating leverage, and constrain investment capacity over the coming quarters.
