Gold prices near 3-week lows as stronger dollar, trade progress weigh
On Tuesday, Jefferies upgraded the stock rating for NKT A/S (NKT:DC) from Underperform to Hold, while also increasing their price target from DKK460.00 to DKK482.00. The adjustment comes as Jefferies analysts anticipate a stronger performance in the company’s Solutions segment, which they believe will balance out the weaker delivery observed in the Applications segment.
The analysts at Jefferies have revised their EBITDA estimates upwards by approximately 3% for the years 2025-2027, citing the resilience in the Solutions business as the primary driver behind this change. This resilience is seen as a counterbalance to the softer results expected from the Applications side of NKT’s operations.
In their analysis, Jefferies has maintained their Sum of the Parts (SOTP) valuation approach. The new price target of DKK482 reflects the firm’s updated outlook on NKT’s financial prospects. Jefferies’ analysts have expressed that the current stock price now adequately factors in the execution risks associated with capital expenditures and the projected EBITDA trajectory in the near term.
The upgrade to a Hold rating indicates that Jefferies no longer views NKT’s shares as underperforming relative to the market. The analysts believe that the potential challenges and risks NKT faces are now appropriately represented in the stock’s current trading levels. This perspective suggests a neutral stance on the stock, signaling that the analysts do not expect significant movement in either direction for NKT’s share price in the immediate future.
