Jefferies | ITX’s Q3 update sees small misses at top-line, fx, gross margin and opex level result in a total EBIT shortfall of around 7%. Current trading is fractionally light but not inconsistent with a likely dd Q4 topline delivery. Net/net the group’s impressive growth credentials look confirmed, but the shares likely needed a better print to prevent some profit-taking today. Call at 8AM UK time.Detail Q3 EBIT 7% below…

And yet the group’s competitive moat is becoming wider, and relative revision momentum stronger. PT upped to €54 as we expect the valuation gap…
ITX’s Q1 results (in-line) and current trading (amply ahead) confirm the by- now-well-recognised investment narrative. One that sees the group continue to deliver ample market share gains.
