Gesco

Improved German growth prospects (currently 1.3%) and strong exports increase the likelihood of a good second half for GESCO and support management’s forecast of annual profit rising from €9.9m to €15–20m. The share price remains near multi-year lows and, at €14.35 and profit in the middle of the target range, implies a P/E of around 8.5, which points to valuation upside if the economic recovery persists. Risks include, among others, a sharp rise in oil prices that could dampen the upswing. » Más en finanzen.net

GESCO increased orders in the second quarter by almost 24% and sales by more than 10%. Analyst Jens Nielsen highlights the markedly improved profitability; EBIT rose by more than 50% in the first six months and net income by almost three quarters. ROCE improved from 4.7% to 5.9% and free cash flow increased to €19.5 million. Despite a still subdued macroeconomic environment, the analyst considers GESCO well positioned, raises the price target to €28.50 and confirms the "buy" rating. » Más en finanzen.net

Gesco posted sales of €249 million in the first half of 2026 (+4.8%) and raised EBIT by 52.9% to €12.69 million; EBITDA was €21.82 million, pre-tax profit €11.4 million and earnings per share €0.75. Order intake rose 13.2% to €272 million and improved the book-to-bill ratio. The margin improvement was driven by a lower material cost ratio and reduced other operating expenses. Gesco confirms its full-year forecast of €515–530 million in sales and a group result after non-controlling interests of €15–20 million. » Más en de.investing.com
