Legrand Earnings: Revenue Tops Expectations, but Guidance Unchanged; Raising our Fair Value Estimate
Narrow-moat Legrand reported a strong rebound in second-quarter performance with revenue comfortably beating FactSet consensus, sending shares 6% higher intraday. Organic revenue growth of 1.5% during the second quarter shows a remarkable improvement from the 5.4% decline in the first quarter of the year. Management kept its full-year guidance unchanged. We’re lifting our fiscal 2024 adjusted operating margin to the upper end of management’s 20.0%-20.8% guidance. Subsequently, we're raising our fair value estimate marginally to EUR 91 from EUR 87.
