Company Report

Sartorius Earnings: Disappointing, but Still on Track to Meet Full-Year Guidance

Wide-moat Sartorius and its bioprocessing subsidiary Sartorius Stedim Biotech, or SSB, reported first-quarter earnings that were a modest disappointment to us, with revenue mildly lower than our forecast. However, we continue to see early signs of recovery in the order books, and think that the company is still on track to meet its full-year guidance. We are maintaining our fair value estimates of EUR 295 per Sartorius AG preference share and EUR 240 per SSB share, and we view the current prices as slightly cheap with a slight preference for SSB.

Bulls Say, Bears Say

Bulls

Sartorius has limited customer concentration risk, and smaller customers account for a majority of revenue.

Bears

Sartorius risks overpaying for acquisitions to achieve somewhat arbitrary growth targets, such as its goal of EUR 4 billion of sales by 2025.
