On Thursday, Jefferies resumed coverage on Meyer Burger Technology AG (SIX:MBTN:SW) (OTC: MYBUF), issuing a Hold rating. The firm highlighted the company's recent CHF 207 million capital raise and its strategic shift towards the US market amidst challenges in the German market due to competition from Chinese imports.
Meyer Burger is entering a new phase with a focus on expanding its presence in the United States. The decision comes as the company faces a tough environment in Germany, where Chinese imports continue to dominate the market. Jefferies pointed out that while Meyer Burger might still need further financing, the company benefits from better revenue visibility and reduced execution risk.
The more favorable regulatory environment in the US is also expected to play a significant role in Meyer Burger's future performance. Jefferies acknowledged that the company's risk-reward profile could be intriguing, given the potential benefits of the market shift.
Despite the positive aspects of Meyer Burger's strategic redirection, Jefferies noted that the outcomes remain uncertain. This uncertainty has led to the decision to resume coverage with a Hold rating, as the wide range of possible outcomes warrants a cautious approach to the stock at this time.
