UBS has reaffirmed its "Buy" rating for GEA Group ahead of the upcoming fourth quarter reporting season.

According to analyst Andre Kukhnin, there have been no significant changes in the updated estimates for the European capital goods sector.

The nowcasting analysis suggests that Volvo and Epiroc are poised for the highest potential organic sales growth in the final quarter.

However, GEA and Siemens are identified as companies that may fall short of expectations by a significant margin.

Overall, sales projections for other companies in the sector are largely in line with consensus, although there is a tendency to underperform.

The original study was published on January 15, 2025, and additional information about potential conflicts of interest can be found on the dpa-AFX website.
