Business
Is the company getting stronger, not just bigger? · 2 findings−5 of −30
- −3Quality of growthRevenue has stalled: EUR 4,227m in 2024, 4,188 in 2025 and 4,079 TTM (-5.5%), and EPS is flat (1.61 TTM vs 1.68). In Q2 2026 sales fell 3.1% and the comparable EBITA margin to 12.7% (14.3%) on lower volume.
- −2Business mixOnly Industrial Service (EBITA margin 21.2%) is really strong; Industrial Equipment earns 6.9% and Port Solutions 10.8% (12.6%) with large, uneven orders. Well over half of revenue sits in the weaker businesses.
Price
Today's multiples against the company's own history and its peers. · 3 findings−11 of −35
- −6Multiples vs own historyForward P/E 16.2 and trailing P/E 19.7 are the highest in five years (forward 9.7–16.1, trailing 11.7–18.9); P/B 3.71 vs 1.59–3.56 and EV/EBITDA 11.4 at the top of 8.1–11.8. The multiple has almost doubled since 2023, while EPS is now flat.
- −2PeersKalmar trades at forward P/E 13.4 and EV/EBITDA 8.6 with higher ROIC (25%); Konecranes carries a premium of approx. 20–30% without better growth.
- −3Absolute price levelFCF yield 4.7% (vs 7–16% in 2023–2025), earnings yield 5.1% and dividend yield 2.4%; FCF is expected to fall to 415 m EUR in 2026 from 520.
Cracks
Cash flow, customers, debt, insiders, guidance and what sits behind the headline numbers. · 2 findings−4 of −35
- −2Cash flowFCF was EUR -20.2m in Q2 2026 vs +118.4m the year before, and FCF payout is 150% TTM; the net cash of 162m at the turn of the year has turned into net debt.
- −2Trade policy and geopoliticsManagement calls the uncertainty about geopolitics and trade policy high; Port Solutions' margins swing with US tariff policy (Q2 helped slightly by refund of US tariffs).
Plus
Only documented strengths. · 2 findings+3 of +15
- +2Order intake and order bookOrder intake +13.2% to EUR 1,241m in Q2 with growth in all businesses; the order book +16.1% to EUR 3,385m gives clearly higher deliveries in H2.
- +1Strong balance sheet and ROICGearing 1.1% and debt/EBITDA 0.6; ROIC has been lifted from 9.6% (2021) to 21.7%, a real quality improvement since the MHPS integration.
Caveats
What the score does not capture, or where the data is weak.
3:1 stock split in March 2026 (237.7m shares); historical per-share figures on stockanalysis are adjusted. Only 4 analysts cover the stock. Peers checked only on Kalmar and Columbus McKinnon. Capital goods machinery, not a classic commodity cycle, hence cyclical = false.
