Here are Pauli’s preview comments as Hexaon announces its results on Friday. ![]()
The sudden weakening of demand seen at the end of Q1 has likely not continued into Q2, but we also do not expect a rapid recovery. We model adjusted operating profit to decrease by 7% year-on-year as growth initiatives increase the cost base and currency rate changes burdening both sales and profitability. Management’s forward-looking comments on demand and the effects of the trade war are especially awaited during these volatile times.
