Deutsche Bank's daily research note highlights downgrades to Hold for Oxford Biomedica, Workday, SentinelOne, and Netskope due to execution issues and full valuations. It also provides coverage updates across European chemicals, semiconductors, real estate, steel spreads, and automotive.
Key Takeaways
- 1.Oxford Biomedica downgraded to Hold from Buy (TP cut to 595p from 800p) following disappointing H1 execution, revenue conversion slowdown, and programme delays.
- 2.Workday, SentinelOne, and Netskope were downgraded to Hold as recent strong performance and AI excitement leave risk/reward profiles more balanced against premium valuations.
- 3.Volvo Cars faces rising structural costs and trade headwinds, prompting expectations that management will reset its >8% EBIT margin timeline at its upcoming September strategy update.
