Revenue growth was stable (+5.1% yoy) and in line withour expectation, supported by strong international performance, particularlyin Benelux, Spain and the UK. However, Germany remained weak and IT SystemHouse & Managed Services declined, while IT E-commerce was the main growthdriver. The EBT margin slightly declined from 5.2% to 5.1%, in line with ourestimate, as cost discipline helped but higher depreciation fromacquisitions weighed on profitability.Management reiterated the need for a strong Q4 to meet EBT targets andpointed to early positive signs from October. The guidance from Marchremains unchanged, implying modest business volume growth and an EBT rangeof -5% yoy to +5% yoy. International demand and structural IT trends supportthe investment case, although domestic market weakness and macro uncertaintyremain key risks. We decrease our target price to EUR 45.50 (previously EUR57) and confirm our Buy recommendation.You can download the research here:https://eqs-cockpit.com/c/fncls.ssp?u=767f7e65aaafba508d478bc79741712dFor additional information visit our website:https://research.quirinprivatbank.de/Contact for questions:Quirin Privatbank AGInstitutionelles ResearchSchillerstraße 2060313 Frankfurt am Mainresearch@quirinprivatbank.dehttps://research.quirinprivatbank.de/---------------------------------------------------------------------------The EQS Distribution Services include Regulatory Announcements,Financial/Corporate News and Press Releases.View original content:https://eqs-news.com/?origin_id=3db3db77-c6f3-11f0-be29-0694d9af22cf&lang=en---------------------------------------------------------------------------2234470 21.11.2025 CET/CEST°
