Gold prices steady ahead of Fed decision; weekly weakness noted
Investing.com -- Shares of Jenoptik (XETRA:JEN) witnessed a mid-session uptick following the company’s release of its audited fourth-quarter figures and 2025 guidance.
The German photonics company’s Q4 results aligned with the preliminary figures announced in February, but its forward-looking statements reflected caution amid macroeconomic uncertainties.
Jenoptik shares were down about 3% on the day before racing to almost erase all losses from earlier in the day.
Jenoptik’s guidance for 2025 projects revenue to be roughly in line with the previous year’s figures, allowing for a variation of plus or minus 5% from the 2024 revenue of €1,116 million. This outlook is in close proximity to the current consensus estimate of €1,128 million, indicating a slight increase of 1%.
Additionally, the company anticipates its EBITDA margin to range between 18-21% for the year 2025, compared to 19.9% in 2024 and a consensus estimate of around 19.8%.
The company also expects capital expenditures (capex) in 2025 to be significantly lower than the €115 million spent in the previous year, following the completion of its manufacturing facility in Dresden.
