Kone: Right direction, but a bumpy road
KONE’s Q2 figures were inconsistent. The order intake fell more than expected, but net sales, and especially profitability, surprised positively. KONE specified its 2023 guidance upward. Our estimate changes are minor but positive. After the share price drop, KONE’s share starts to approach a neutral valuation. However, we stick to a cautious position on the share and reiterate our Reduce recommendation and our target price of EUR 47.50.
