Stablecoins are here to stay says BlackRock
On Friday, JPMorgan analyst David Adlington downgraded GN Store Nord A/S stock from Overweight to Neutral, concurrently reducing the price target to DKK135.00 from the previous DKK233.00. The downgrade follows a profit warning from the company, which was influenced by tariff impacts that had been largely expected, as indicated by the stock’s 36% decline since early February, even before the recent warning.
Adlington’s assessment recognized unexpected factors contributing to the downside, notably the Hearing division’s performance falling short of expectations, primarily due to weakness in the U.S. market. However, a rebound in this sector is anticipated relatively soon. Despite this, JPMorgan has made significant cuts to their forecasts, with a roughly 22% reduction in expected FY25 EBITA and a 30% decrease in projected EPS.
The lowered confidence in the outlook for GN Store Nord’s Enterprise division has been cited as a key reason for the adjustment to a Neutral rating. Adlington notes that while GN Store Nord’s shares are currently trading at a deep discount—12.8x / 9.8x FY25/FY26 PER based on JPMorgan’s updated figures—the lack of near-term visibility on the Enterprise outlook is a concern. This clarity is deemed necessary for the stock to perform better moving forward.
The analyst’s statement elucidated the reasoning behind the downgrade and price target cut: "With increasingly low confidence in the outlook for Enterprise, we move to a Neutral rating and cut our TP to DKK135 (from DKK233). While the shares trade at a deep discount, we do not expect improved visibility on the Enterprise outlook in the near term which is what is required for the shares to work from here in our view."
Investors holding GN Store Nord stock are now faced with a revised outlook from one of the leading financial institutions, as the company navigates through the challenges presented by market conditions and tariff impacts.
