In light of the results published in the interim report for 1H24A, we are slightly adjusting our estimates for both the current year and the coming years. Specifically, we estimate a value of production of € 11.50 million for FY24E and an EBITDA of € 1.10 million, corresponding to a margin of 9.6%. For the subsequent years, we expect the production value to increase to € 15.20 million (CAGR 23A-26E: 10.2%) in FY26E, with an EBITDA of € 2.60 million (corresponding to a margin of 17.1%), growing from € 0.53 million in FY23A (corresponding to an EBITDA margin of 4.7%).
Given the lack of comparable companies, we conducted the equity valuation of Deodato Arte based solely on the DCF methodology. The DCF method (which, in calculating the WACC, prudently includes a specific risk of 2.5%) yields an equity value of € 26,7 million. The target price is €0.85, with a BUY rating and MEDIUM risk. |
