Jefferies analyst Chloe Lemaire maintained a Buy rating on Airbus Group SE (EADSF – Research Report) today and set a price target of €190.00.
Chloe Lemaire has given her Buy rating due to a combination of factors that highlight the strengths of Airbus Group SE. The company’s financial performance, particularly in its Commercial and Helicopter segments, has exceeded expectations. Despite a slight shortfall in the Defense and Space sector, the overall earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) was favorable, reflecting the company’s robust operational capabilities.
Moreover, the free cash flow (FCF) for the fiscal year has significantly surpassed consensus estimates, indicating strong financial health. Although the dividends announced were slightly lower than anticipated, the future financial guidance remains solid, with promising projections for aircraft deliveries and cash flow. These positive elements contribute to a favorable outlook for Airbus Group SE, thus supporting Chloe Lemaire’s Buy rating.
In another report released on February 18, Bernstein also maintained a Buy rating on the stock with a €180.00 price target.
