Prysmian (PRY.MI): Key takeaways from optical fiber site visit - We highlight the key

takeaways from our visit to Prysmian’s optical fiber preform and drawing plant —

Europe’s largest. Glass preform production remains the primary bottleneck, expected to

drive higher prices over the next two years before volumes ramp in 2029 as new

capacity comes online. Technological differentiation via bend-insensitive fiber underpins

Prysmian’s competitive advantage, while exponential datacenter demand and

hyperscaler contract dynamics shift focus away from traditional telecom customers. We

see 24% margin in 2026 moving towards 28% by 2028, with topline organic CAGR at

13%. We are 2-9% ahead of Visible Alpha Consensus Data for FY26-28E and expect the

company to raise 2026 guidance at 2Q. Buy with 9% upside. (Daniela Costa)
