Barclays starts Andritz at 'equal-weight' on downside earnings risk
** Barclays initiates Austrian industrial equipment maker Andritz ANDR.VI with "equal-weight", citing downside risk to earnings
** The broker sees slower-than-expected order growth in 2024for Pulp & Paper division, impacting revenue in 2025, and is about 25% below consensus on 2025 EBITA margin as it believes it will be hard to offset volume decline by cutting fixed costs
** Barclays anticipates Metals division to demonstrate flat revenue growth until 2026 due to recent negative news flow on EV volumes, increased competition among European OEMs and negative reads
** Although most of new hydro capacity is coming from China, there is a handful of projects elsewhere for which Andritz can compete, making more than 5% revenue CAGR target "achievable", in broker's view
** The brokerage also forecasts a double-digit revenue growth in Environment & Energy division based on peer commentary, faster book & turn and the company's elevated backlog
** Out of 11 analysts that cover Andritz, nine rate the stock "strong buy" or "buy," and two rate it "hold" - LSEG data
** By 1143 GMT Andritz's stock is down around 3%
