Kone posted an exceptional start to the year in terms of cash flow generation, despite an under-proportional growth in EBIT as well as a contraction in the EBIT margin. Following this earnings release, we expect to increase our operating profit forecast for FY19 by some 4%. This will not be enough to trigger a change in recommendation from Reduce to a positive one. We continue to believe that the stock is overvalued.
