Chloe Lemaire has given her Buy rating due to a combination of factors including the solid performance of Safran SA in key financial metrics despite some challenges. The company’s return on investment (ROI) for the second half was slightly below consensus expectations, but this was largely balanced by reduced eliminations across divisions, including Propulsion.
Moreover, Safran’s free cash flow (FCF) exceeded expectations by 12%, demonstrating financial resilience. The company also raised its EBIT guidance for 2025 by 2%, driven by growth in spare parts. These positive indicators, coupled with an improved free cash flow forecast by 7%, contribute to a favorable outlook, prompting the Buy rating.
According to TipRanks, Lemaire is a top 100 analyst with an average return of 30.8% and a 90.09% success rate. Lemaire covers the Industrials sector, focusing on stocks such as Airbus Group SE, Rolls-Royce Holdings, and BAE Systems.
