2020E: sales decline 1.7% and EBIT of EUR 18.4m
Etteplan reissued a guidance in Q2, expecting 2020 revenue to decrease slightly or be at 2019 levels and EBIT to decrease compared with 2019. We currently estimate a sales decline of 1.7% in 2020 and EBIT of EUR 18.4m (2019: EUR 22.8m). The situation with the coronavirus pandemic has turned to the worse again with the second wave and we will be keeping our eyes on comments on the potential effect on demand development.
HOLD with a target price of EUR 9.3 (8.7)
We have made only minor tweaks to our estimates ahead of the Q3 results. With the slightly improved sentiment after Q2 and peer multiple appreciation we adjust our target price to EUR 9.3 (EUR 8.7), valuing Etteplan at 7.5x 2020 EV/EBITDA, and retain our HOLD-rating.
