Kendrion (KENDR): Initiation - Energised by electrification

Kendrion is a global player in high-quality electromagnetic systems that optimise safety, performance and comfort in automotive and industrial applications. The coronavirus pandemic creates a short-term uncertain market environment but the underlying demand for Kendrion's products is strong and it will benefit from multiple long-term disruptive trends, such as autonomous driving, electrification, emission reduction and industrial automation. Its valuation shows a discount to peers, which should gradually vanish when company targets are met.

We value Kendrion at around €28 per share, which is the average of historical multiples (€28), DCF (€29) and peer comparison (€26). Higher revenues and margins will result in higher cash flows over the next few years supporting our DCF valuation. Kendrion is valued at a discount to peers of 11% on 2022e EV/EBITDA, which might vanish over time as we believe that the company will be able to accelerate growth and significantly improve margins.
