paragon - A dip in the road ahead
paragon expects extended summer breaks and anticipated year-end shutdowns of customer plants to restrict growth in H223. We have reduced our earnings expectations to reflect the disposal of the battery business and resulting lower growth trajectory, with FY23 and FY24 EPS estimates falling by 9% and 11% respectively. However, the debt reduction continues and the ownership issues have been resolved. Further news on the plan for the Eurobond redemption has yet to be communicated, but should improve the equity outlook and investor sentiment.
