https://research-hub.de/companies/Wolftank Group AG
Wolftank Group is expanding its hydrogen infrastructure footprint with the ACTIVA H2 project in Spain, which focuses on developing a hydrogen refueling station to support hydrogen mobility in urban areas and the Trans-European Transport Network. This initiative follows a series of projects in Italy and strengthens Wolftank's position in the growing hydrogen market in southern Europe. The project could pave the way for further infrastructure developments across Europe, especially as both Spain and Italy have set ambitious hydrogen targets. With these prospects, Wolftank is well-positioned for continued growth, and the expansion of its Hydrogen & Renewables segment could lead to further opportunities in the future. mwb research’s analysts maintain their BUY rating and EUR 20.00 target price, as they see substantial long-term growth potential.

https://research-hub.de/companies/Performance One AG
Performance One AG reported preliminary FY24 figures broadly in line with expectations. Revenue came in slightly below forecast at EUR 9.3m, while EBITDA of EUR -0.5m met guidance and expectations. The company is undergoing a strategic transformation into a holding focused on digital health and AI, supported by a capital increase of up to EUR 0.84m. A key milestone was the ZPP certification of its mental health app harmony, enabling health insurance reimbursement and boosting its competitive edge. While short-term dilution limits upside, the strategic realignment, improved profitability outlook, and strong positioning in high-growth segments support mwb research’s BUY rating with an unchanged price target of EUR 4.40. mwb research will organize a roundtable with CEO Denis Lademann on Wednesday, April 9th at 14.00 CEST.

Distribution remains B2B-focused, and international exposure is well-managed.

https://research-hub.de/companies/Siltronic AG
Siltronic’s Q1’25 report is likely to reflect ongoing headwinds, with sales expected to decline to around EUR 330m (-4% yoy) and a resilient ~25% EBITDA margin (-1.4pp yoy), as persistent customer destocking continues to weigh on volumes. While near-term sentiment remains fragile and the outlook lacks a clear catalyst, potentially justifying the discount, mwb research’s analysts see early signs of stabilization, with FY25 likely marking the trough and 2026 potentially resuming yoy growth, albeit from a lower base. Trading at 0.7x P/B, below historical downturn levels, valuation appears compelling. With exposure to long term structural growth drivers and LTAs intact providing short-term visibility and stability, the analysts maintain their BUY rating and a PT of EUR 65.00, pricing in and leaning toward a cautiously optimistic mid-term recovery in the stock, fueled by gradually easing inventory pressure and reacceleration in demand especially in 2026. Still, sentiment remains fragile and uncertainty prevails in the near term. The full update can be downloaded under https://research-hub.de/companies/Siltronic%20AG

https://research-hub.de/companies/Ernst Russ AG
mwb research’s analysts initiate coverage of Ernst Russ AG (ER) with a BUY recommendation and a PT of EUR 10.00 offering an upside potential of 75.4%. ER, founded in 1893, is an international shipowner operating at the intersection of asset management, shipping operations, and financial services. The company currently manages a fleet of 26 vessels valued at c. USD 460m. ER's resilience in the competitive shipping industry is underpinned by financial strength, operational efficiency, and a long-term charter strategy. Despite short-term headwinds, ER is well-positioned for future growth, expecting healthy over the cycle ROCE of ~25% and over the cycle (10 yrs.) FCF generation of > EUR 40m p.a. The company's hidden reserves, indicated by a 50% disparity between market and book value of assets, further suggests significant untapped value, particularly as ER is now entering a phase of active portfolio management.

https://research-hub.de/companies/Cancom SE
Cancom confirmed its preliminary FY24 results, reporting 14% revenue growth to EUR 1,74bn and EBITDA of EUR 113m, slightly below prior year. A strong performance in the International segment compensated for weak business in Germany, Cancom's core market, which was flat. The outlook for FY25 is cautious: management expects a weak first half of FY25 with potential declines in revenues and earnings, with recovery expected only in H2. The German government's stimulus package is not expected to support IT spending in FY25 and is only expected to have an impact from H2 FY26. mwb research’s analysts lower their FY25 estimates, introduce FY27 estimates and maintain their BUY rating with a lowered PT of EUR 27.20 (old EUR 29.00).

https://research-hub.de/companies/AIXTRON SE
Aixtron has announced that it will supply its G10-AsP system to Nokia for the production of 6-inch indium phosphide (InP) wafers used in photonic integrated circuits (PICs). This is a strategic move as Nokia expands its InP-based PIC capabilities following its acquisition of Infinera in 2024. While current industry production is focused on 2-inch and 4-inch wafers, the move to 6-inch signals a push towards scalability. The PIC market, valued at USD 6.4bn in 2025, is forecast to grow to USD 54.5bn by 2035, driven by demand in AI data centres, telecoms, sensors and quantum computing. Although silicon currently dominates, InP is expected to gain significant share, providing a major growth opportunity for Aixtron. mwb research’s analysts reiterate their BUY rating with a price target of EUR 19.50. For more first-hand information from the company, mwb research invites you to register for the roundtable on 8 April with VP IR Christian Ludwig: https://research-hub.de/events/registration/2025-04-08-12-00/AIXA-GR.

Drägerwerk (Dräger) has announced its final figures for FY24, reporting strong results in line with expectations. Order intake increased by 3.4% yoy at constant currency to EUR 3.38bn, slightly surpassing the previous year's figure. Revenues remained largely stable at EUR 3.37bn, showing a nominal decline of 0.1%, but a 0.5% increase in constant currency. EBIT rose by 16.6% yoy to EUR 194m, partly supported by nonrecurring net effects. Excluding these, EBIT grew by 3.4% yoy to EUR 172m, with a margin of 5.1%. The Safety division performed well, with a 6.4% rise in order intake, while the Medical division showed a modest recovery despite challenges in China.

The company remains focused on improving profitability, with a goal of reaching a 10% EBIT margin by 2030. mwb research’s analysts reiterate their BUY rating with a PT of EUR 72.00 (up from EUR 69.00).

https://research-hub.de/companies/secunet Security Networks AG
secunet’s full-year results came in broadly as expected, with modest top-line growth (+3%) and a flat EBIT margin of 10.5%, impacted by R&D and a one-off inventory adjustment. While the Public Sector continued to drive performance, the Business Sector remained weak. The 2025 outlook signals another transition year, with only modest revenue growth forecast and no margin improvement expected. Despite investor optimism following government spending plans, this has not yet translated into upgraded guidance. Ongoing investments in cloud, cryptography, and service-based models continue to weigh on near-term profitability. mwb research lower their PT to EUR 175.00 (old: EUR 185.00) and downgrade from BUY to HOLD.

https://research-hub.de/companies/Friedrich Vorwerk Group SE
Friedrich Vorwerk Group (FVG) announced Q4 2024 results slightly above preliminary figures, with revenues increasing by 62.1% yoy to EUR 159m and EBITDA reaching EUR 31m, nearly tripling compared to the previous year. This resulted in an EBITDA margin of 19.3%. For FY24, FVG successfully returned to profitable growth, with revenues of EUR 498.4m, up 33.5% yoy, primarily driven by the Electricity segment. EBITDA increased to EUR 80.5m, with a margin of 16.2%. The company’s order backlog grew by 18.7% yoy to EUR 1.19bn, suggesting a positive outlook. Management expects continued growth in FY25, with projected revenues of EUR 540-570m and an EBITDA margin of 16-17%. As a result, the analysts have raised their estimates to the upper end of FY25 guidance and increased their projections for the coming years, raising their price target to EUR 45.00 (from EUR 38.00). However, given the 100% rise in the stock this year and concerns about the company’s ability to scale capacity rapidly in line with incoming orders, the analysts have downgraded their rating to HOLD.
