Summary

• KION remains a long-term recovery play, with strong upside potential, despite recent macro and tariff headwinds impacting near-term results and margins.
• Q1 2025 results were mixed: order intake rose 11%, but revenue and EBIT declined; service segment strength offsets new business lag.
• The valuation is still attractive, but I lower my price target to €68/share, reflecting increased risks and KION's history of missing targets.
• I maintain a 'Buy' rating, seeing the Company as fundamentally safe, well-run, and undervalued, with 3–5 year upside and growing dividends.
