For the following years, we expect revenues to increase to €16.60 million (CAGR 23A-26E: 3.1%) in 2026E, with EBITDA reaching €2.45 million (corresponding to an EBITDA margin of 14.8%), up from €1.68 million in 2023A (corresponding to an EBITDA margin of 11.1%).

The DCF method (including, for prudential purposes, a specific risk of 2.5% in the calculation of the WACC) returned an equity value of € €17.6 million. Using market multiples, the equity value of Gel came in at € 15.5 million (including a 25% discount). The result is an average equity value of approximately €16.5 million. The target price is €2.30, with a BUY rating and MEDIUM risk.
