Here is an equity report from Viljakainen after Koskisen’s Q3.  Koskisen’s Q3 report was a disappointment in terms of results, but this was partly due to one-off factors, and forecast changes for the coming years ultimately remained quite small. In our view, Koskinen has clear earnings growth potential in the coming years as the construction cycle gradually recovers and the company’s significant investments of recent years reach their cruising altitude. However, we believe this has already been baked into the stock price with over 30% increase this year, which is why the stock’s return expectation for a 12-month horizon remains around the required rate of return. Quoted from the report: Financial position remains strong Koskinen’s net gearing ratio was a reasonable 25% at the end of Q3 (Q3’24: net gearing ratio 8%). Thus, in our opinion, the company’s balance sheet is in good condition, even though significant capital has been allocated to implementing the growth strategy in recent years due to the acquisition of Iisveden Metsä and recent investments. Investments also continue, especially in the Panel Industry and the drying capacity of Järvelä’s new sawmill, but the pace of organic investments is likely to be slowing down.

Koskisen Q3-raportti oli tuloksellisesti pettymys, mutta taustalla oli osin kertaluonteisiakin tekijöitä ja ennustemuutokset lähivuosien osalta jäivät lopulta melko vähäisiksi....

Otherwise, surveys would provide valuable data, but since these surveys are usually conducted using the (e)NPS loser metric, which tells nothing about employee satisfaction, the figure is practically useless. The mathematics behind NPS figures were disproven over 10 years ago, but it is still seen everywhere in business arenas filled with animal spirits and kitchen psychology. https://businessoverbroadway.com/2018/05/07/data-science-reveals-three-problems-with-the-nps-dogma/ For example  6,6,6,6,6,6,6,6,10,10  And  0,0,0,0,9  Give the same eNPS result.

Companies often report employee satisfaction in their massive annual reports. Koskinen’s eNPS in 2024 was 4, which probably isn’t very good, though not a bad figure either.  https://storage.mfn.se/e51e728a-12

Most of the growth is due to increased volumes, which naturally raises material and service costs in the manufacturing industry. The disproportionate increase in material and service costs was likely driven especially by the revenue’s emphasis on the lower-margin Sawmilling industry (incl. the acquisition of Iisveden Metsä) and the rise in log prices. Koskisen presumably used inventories purchased at higher than current prices during the beginning of the year. Koskisen’s Q3 figures were undeniably weak compared to the reference period and expectations, even if the impact of that write-down were to be excluded. The comment is here and the webcast starts soon here.

Koskinen’s Q3 report was weaker than we expected in terms of earnings. Some of this, however, is due to the maintenance shutdowns in July that were clearly longer than we expected, although the market situation has not recently developed positively either.

<p>Koskinen’s Q3 report was weaker than we expected in terms of earnings. Some of this, however, is due to the maintenance shutdowns in July that were clearly longer than we expected, although the market situation has not recently developed positively either. In the current situation, the share cannot be priced at particularly high multiples, but Koskisen’s valuation is very moderate, especially on EV basis despite the short-term estimate cuts. Thus, we find the risk/return ratio of the share to still be attractive. </p>
