European recovery needed in H2 to meet outlook
BTS reiterated its FY outlook of better earnings in 2024 than in 2023 in today's Q2 report, despite sales in the European segment dropping 23% y-o-y, countered by both North America and Other markets which delivered solid growth rates. To meet the outlook, we argue that we need to see a recovery in the European market and flat growth y-o-y in H2, which we think is potentially at risk given somewhat weak signs from both PMIs and general observations from other sectors (like IT consulting and IT hardware re-selling).
