Gold bars to be exempt from tariffs, White House clarifies
On Friday, BNP Paribas (OTC:BNPQY) Exane analysts downgraded RENK Group AG (R3NK:GR) stock from Neutral to Underperform. The analysts also adjusted the price target to €72 from the previous €46.
RENK Group, a leading firm in drive technologies for the defense, industrial, and energy sectors, has shown a significant order backlog of €5.5 billion and a project pipeline of €12-13 billion as of the end of the first quarter. These figures support the company’s increased sales target range of €2.5-3 billion by 2030.
Despite these positive figures, the analysts noted that the forecast upgrade for RENK Group is smaller compared to its peers in the defense sector. They also highlighted that the stock’s year-to-date rally of 360% has resulted in an enterprise value to earnings before interest and taxes (EV/EBIT) ratio estimate of 29x/23x for 2026/2027, which they view as less attractive in terms of risk-reward.
The decision to downgrade the stock reflects the analysts’ assessment of the current valuation and the limited upside risk to consensus forecasts in comparison to its defense sector peers.
