Here are Pauli’s comments on Vaisala’s recent acquisition, which has already been discussed here. ![]()
Vaisala has made several acquisitions during the current year, with which it has supplemented its Xweather weather data business, which consists of continuous high-margin invoicing. The latest acquisition target, WeatherDesk, focuses specifically on customers involved in commodity and energy trading. We view the acquisition with cautious optimism, but we do not see the deal having a significant impact on the stock’s return/risk potential. We will update our forecasts no later than in connection with the Q4 preliminary comments.
