Bulls say / Bears say
Industrial order intake grew 13% organically in the second quarter and the order book reached SEK 8.1bn. Latour says this provides a base for further sales growth in coming quarters. (Investment AB Latour)
Five second-quarter acquisitions, alongside first-quarter deals, add SEK 700m of annualised net sales. This gives Latour another route to growth beyond existing operations. (Investment AB Latour)
Latour has moved from a long-standing premium to a discount to its net asset value. That may offer a more attractive entry point and room for a valuation recovery if operating performance improves. (Dagens industri)
Latour's total return was down 12.4% in the first half, while the SIXRX index rose 8.1%; net asset value per share also fell 3.7% after dividends. This highlights weak recent returns for shareholders. (Investment AB Latour)
First-half industrial sales rose only 1% and adjusted operating profit fell 1%, with the operating margin slipping to 13.5% from 13.7%. Stronger orders have yet to translate into better underlying earnings. (Investment AB Latour)
Latour has material exposure to construction, where residential building and some new-build activity remain weak in parts of Europe. Delayed project starts have also pushed invoicing and revenue into later quarters. (Investment AB Latour)
