GEA (G1AG.DE) - A compelling mismatch / Upgrade to Buy Products

Lars Vom-Cleff: Hold to Buy, Tgt EUR64 to EUR70. Last Close EUR56.10. We +44-20-754-76037

upgrade GEA to Buy and raise our target price to EUR 70 (from EUR 64) as we now

see a more compelling mismatch between the group’s resilient fundamentals and

the current valuation. We have become more confident in the outlook for improving

revenue momentum, sustained margin expansion and continued execution against

MISSION 30, supported by a favorable mix shift towards higher-margin service and

digital revenues, additional cost savings and disciplined capital allocation. Against

this background, we have increased our FY26E-FY28E EPS forecast by 4-6%. At the

same time, GEA’s defensive end-market exposure, low customer concentration

and healthy order/backlog dynamics continue to underpin earnings resilience.
