Exel: Balance sheet creaks at the seams

Download report (PDF)

Yesterday, Exel lowered its revenue guidance for the current year, which did not come as a surprise given the sluggish start to the year. The company also announced the restructuring of its US operations, in connection with which it will take a significant write-down for Q4. Combined with the current market situation, performance and already high leverage, we believe this increases the risks to the balance sheet. Reflecting this and the negative forecast changes we have made, we believe that the risk/return ratio for the stock has turned very poor for the next 12 months.

Exel Composites is a manufacturing company. The company manufactures and markets composites used in demanding industrial environments. In addition to its core business, lamination and extrusion are also performed. The largest operations are found around Europe and Asia with customers in the manufacturing and aerospace industries. Exel Composites was founded in 1960 and is headquartered in Vantaa.

There’s a bit of upward pressure in the forecasts now. Interesting to see if this finally starts to translate into the EPS line next year.

Interesting. We’ll find out next week. Wild guess: Aktia wanted to lighten its position and Erkki bought.

Did I see correctly that there was a 600k block trade on Exel today? Is there any information about this?
