Purmo Group: Stable earnings outlook for this year is a relief

By Rauli Juva
Purmo's Q4 result was mainly in line with the company's previous estimates and decreased clearly from the comparison period, but exceeded our expectations. The company’s guidance for 2023 is adjusted EBITDA at roughly 2022 level which we feel was a relief. However, our estimate changes were minor and our 2023 estimate is at the lower end of the range. We consider the company's valuation to be neutral, but earnings growth expectations and dividend yield provide a sufficient expected return.
