Gold bars to be exempt from tariffs, White House clarifies
Investing.com - Deutsche Bank (ETR:DBKGn) raised its price target on IWG Plc (LON:IWG) to GBP2.75 from GBP2.50 on Friday, while maintaining a Buy rating on the flexible workspace provider.
The bank cited IWG’s position as "a beneficiary of a structural shift to a more flexible and cost effective way of working for large companies and SMEs," noting the company is the global leader with approximately 4,000 locations.
Deutsche Bank highlighted IWG’s capital-light strategy, which it believes "could deliver faster growth at a lower cost and lower risk," prompting the analysts to update their sum-of-the-parts valuation.
The bank noted that IWG’s Managed & Franchised business is gaining momentum, with a pipeline of 192,000 rooms relative to a base of 202,000 rooms at the end of Q1, suggesting the firm’s deployment forecasts "could be conservative."
Deutsche Bank projects that EBITDA from the Managed & Franchised segment could reach approximately $70 million, representing about 15% of Group EBITDA in fiscal year 2027, with margin improvements expected as the division builds scale and benefits from operating synergies.
