Codan Surprises UBS Again, But Stock Fairly Valued -- Market Talk

Dow Jones
04/30

0106 GMT - Codan's trading update pointed to stronger-than-expected profit margins in its communications business. Still, UBS says Codan's lofty valuation keeps it neutral-rated for now. Codan now expects communications revenue growth at the top end of its 15%-20% guidance range for FY 2026. It also says the division could achieve 30% profit margin in FY 2026, a year earlier than previously thought. Analyst Evan Karatzas likes Codan's exposure to three macro themes: gold price strength, defense investment and public safety. "We estimate these end-markets will help underpin a strong three-year cash EPS compound annual growth rate of 37%," UBS says. But with the stock currently trading on a FY27 price-to-earnings multiple of 41X, UBS thinks it is fairly valued. (david.winning@wsj.com; @dwinningWSJ)
