This is a really encouraging announcement, with stronger underlying demand as well as the start of new shipments and improvements in the gross margin mix. Revenues are ahead of expectations and profits for the year are said to be significantly ahead – as such we upgrade our EPS forecast for 2019 by 26.4% and 2020 by 21.2%. We also raise our price target from 400p to 475p (up 19%). This announcement should be taken well and we see good scope for share price performance.
