Martela designs, implements and maintains work environments. The product portfolio is broad and consists of chairs, sofas, tables, storage and other office accessories. In addition, a wide range of services are offered, including ergonomic guidance, office interior design, design, needs analysis and premises maintenance, as well as removal and recycling services. The company is headquartered in Helsinki.

Martela’s share target prices sound theatrical. A target price of €0.70 means a market capitalization of €3.2M, and a target price of €0.50 is a market capitalization of €2.3M. If the communication were changed to be market-cap-based, it could go as follows: “The analyst estimates Martela’s market capitalization to be 2 million instead of the previous 3 million.” Sounds a bit sarcastic when put like this. Martela could be asked how much they estimate various short-term financing facilities (e.g., through factoring) could be available, from which one can calculate how many quarters of negative cash flow the company can withstand before bankruptcy. The company’s valuation should be based on assessing the bankruptcy risk and the turnaround in earnings.

Here is a fresh company report from Thomas on Martela following a negative profit warning. Martela issued a sharp negative profit warning, due to which we have lowered our forecasts. The profit warning was a clear disappointment, as the seasonally important Q4 is expected to be markedly weak and the company’s liquidity situation appears more challenging than before. We lower our target price to 0.5 euros (previously 0.7 eur) and reiterate our sell recommendation.                   Inderes              Martela: Syklinen elpyminen jäi lähtötelineisiin - Inderes    Martela antoi rajun negatiivisen tulosvaroituksen, jonka myötä olemme laskeneet ennusteitamme.

Expected result again. I think I’ll get rid of the last few shares while I can still get some money for them. I really don’t understand why I’ve kept them at all  However, this is no surprise, considering the company’s communication:  Even the Finnish headline is bleak, but the English is already utterly poor, and the sentence could even be understood to mean that Martela would lower its guidance to gain profit  Just ‘Martela lowers its guidance for 2025’ would have been enough. /rant (sorry)

Thomas has prepared a new company report on Martela after the Q3 results were released.   Martela’s Q3 report fell short of our expectations due to weak development in new orders. However, supported by cost savings, the company improved its earnings level. In our view, the stock’s risk profile turns very high again due to the indebted balance sheet and capital needs at the beginning of next year. We lower our recommendation to sell (previously reduce) and cut our target price to EUR 0.7 (previously EUR 0.85).                   Inderes              Martela Q3'25: Alkuvuoden vauhti hyytyi - Inderes    Martelan Q3-raportti jäi odotuksistamme uusien tilausten heikon kehityksen takia.

Here are Thomas’s quick comments on the Q3 results.   In Martela’s Q3 report, declining orders were the key surprise, leading to weaker revenue and profitability than our expectations. Driven by cost savings and an improved gross margin, the company was able to improve its profitability compared to the reference period. Based on the subdued order development in the Q3 report, we see downward pressure on our forecasts. The guidance indicating an operating profit settling around zero does not enable positive cash flow or strengthening of the challenging balance sheet position. Consequently, it is critical for the investment story that the company is able to improve its profitability through revenue growth.                   Inderes              Martela Q3’25 -pikakommentti: Tilauskehitys jäi heikoksi - Inderes    Martelan Q3-raportissa laskuun kääntyneet tilaukset olivat keskeisin yllätys, mikä johti odotuksiamme heikompaan liikevaihtoon ja tulostasoon.

Thomas has given his preliminary comments as Martela publishes its Q3 results on Wednesday.  Recent years have been very challenging for Martela and the entire office furniture market due to economic uncertainty and customers’ postponed investment decisions. Since the latter half of last year, Martela has communicated signs of recovery in its target market, and this has been clearly visible in the company’s development during the beginning of the year. We expect the recovery of the target market, the release of pent-up demand from recent years, and the company’s efforts to streamline its cost structure to have significantly boosted Martela’s Q3 figures compared to the reference period. In connection with the report, we identify the possibility of raising the current year’s guidance, provided that the company’s Q3 figures meet our expectations.                   Inderes              Martela Q3’25 -ennakko: Edellytykset loistavalle kehitykselle - Inderes    Odotamme kohdemarkkinan elpymisen, viime vuosina patoutuneen kysynnän purkautumisen ja yhtiön työn kulurakenteensa tehostamiseksi nostattaneen Martelan lukuja.

Yle had an interesting story about the Finnish furniture industry. Industry players accuse Martela’s competitor, Isku, of manipulating public procurement tenders and the state’s joint procurement company Hansel of silently condoning the matter. Last December, Isku was excluded from the list of reliable operators of the state’s joint procurement company Hansel due to a poor credit rating and debts. According to the article, Isku, however, still participates in tenders through the new company Isku Spaces, enabled by its better credit rating. According to Hansel, an overly complex procurement law can hinder good public procurements.  As an interesting tidbit, an unnamed competitor had described Isku, which is facing financial difficulties, with the words “too big to fail” in the context of public sector furniture procurements.  https://yle.fi/a/74-2018568
