What the Analysts think about Avolta AG
Analyst ratings (Buy, Hold, Sell) for Avolta AG stock.
Analyst projections of the future price of Avolta AG stock.
Bulls say / Bears say
Organic growth accelerated to 4.6% in Q3 from 2.9% in Q2, and preliminary October growth was around 4%, pointing to improving trading momentum. (Avolta)
Nine-month equity free cash flow was CHF 501m, close to the prior year, while leverage stood at 2.0x even after acquisitions and share repurchases. The cash generation gives Avolta room to invest and return capital to shareholders. (Avolta)
Profitability has yet to recover fully: the nine-month core EBITDA margin fell 20 basis points year on year to 10.0%, and equity free cash flow was nearly flat. The company says Middle East disruption and the ramp-up of major new operations are still weighing on results. (Avolta)
Geopolitical disruption in the Middle East is holding back sales: nine-month organic growth was 4.1%, compared with 5.2% excluding the region’s impact. A prolonged disruption would therefore leave growth more exposed than the headline figure suggests. (Avolta)
Refinancing is becoming more expensive: Avolta priced €350m of senior notes at 5.25% to repay 2027 debt, against a 2.0% coupon on the existing notes. Rolling over low-coupon debt at higher rates could increase the interest burden. (Avolta, Davis Polk)
