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. It is true that gross margin progress is now much more measured, and in turn the benefits to EBIT margin expansion more modest.
