Suominen: Not convincing

Af Rauli Juva
Suominen’s Q2 result fell short of expectations, although it improved slightly from the weak comparison period. The company reiterated its guidance of an improving full-year result, but the earnings turnaround has not materialized so far. Due to the weak result, we clearly lowered our estimates for 2023-25. Even with the 2025 earnings level, the valuation remains highish and the expected return is weak. We lower the target price to EUR 2.6 (previously EUR 2.8) and our recommendation to Sell (previously Reduce).
