We update our model to incorporate take-aways from the group’s pre-close call

earlier this afternoon and from our Industrials conference (here), top-down data- European Capital Goods

points and peer read-across. Our Q2 sales forecast of €10,907m assumes 10.9% Phil Buller AC

organic growth (of which 2% is price) and a 1.9% FX headwind, which compares (44-20) 3493-9403

to the standing BBG consensus of €10,854m and 10.3% OSG. On the call, CFO phil.buller@jpmorgan.com

Nathan Fast reiterated messages shared at our conference from both an end market

Akash Guptaand gross margin standpoint, and also explained that consensus did seem to reflect

(44-20) 7742-7978

the yoy improvement in SFC (i.e. there was no warning on adj EBITA margin, akash.z.gupta@jpmorgan.com

which was of mild concern to some investors ahead of the pre-close). We make J.P. Morgan Securities plc

minor tweaks to our annual forecasts for FY26/27/28 forecasts beyond FX, which Chitrita C Sinha

result in c1% upgrades to our estimates on average. For H1, our margin of 19.0% (44-20) 7742-7176

(previously 19.2%) compares with BBG consensus of 18.6%. We increase our PT chitrita.sinha@jpmorgan.com

to €335 (from €325) as we roll forward to Dec-27 (from Jun-27) with an unchanged J.P. Morgan Securities plc
