Xaar has released a trading update for 2023 that includes cautious commentary around 2024. The group is expecting a strong end to the year in terms of profitability, albeit with depressed revenue levels. Sales pressures are expected to continue in 2024 and, combined with downward pressure on prices and cost inflation, are likely to lead to a materially reduced level of profitability. We alter our estimates for both years to reflect the update. Although the group is clearly navigating tough markets, we continue to see long-term value in the new products and markets that recent investments have delivered.
