Fundamental comparison – Gabriel Holding’s Q3‑2024/25 results show a 7 % top‑line gain to DKK 390.1 m and a 166 % surge in EBIT to DKK 31.7 m versus DKK 11.9 m a year earlier. This translates into an EBIT margin of roughly 8.1 %, well above the Danish mid‑cap industrial average of 5–6 % reported by peers such as Bavarian‑Nordic A/S, DLG Food A/S and Orkla Foods Danmark. Those competitors have posted modest revenue growth of 2‑4 % in the same period and EBIT margins staying flat around 4–5 %. Gabriel’s double‑digit earnings uplift therefore signals significant operating leverage and a stronger positioning in its core markets (packaging/food‑service solutions). The revenue growth outpaces the sector’s 3–5 % pace, implying that Gabriel is gaining market share while maintaining pricing power.
Technical & trading implications – The stock (GAB) has rallied about 12 % YTD, breaking a short‑term resistance near DKK 115 and now sits slightly above the 50‑day moving average with RSI hovering in the 58‑62 zone, indicating continued upward momentum without being overbought. Relative strength versus the OMX Copenhagen 25 index (+3 pts) suggests the market is already pricing in the earnings beat, but the margin expansion provides a catalyst for further upside, especially if the Q3 report confirms the forecasted numbers. A prudent entry could be on a pull‑back to the 50‑day MA (~DKK 118) with a stop just below the 200‑day MA (~DKK 105). Given the earnings beat and sector‑outperformance, a medium‑term bullish stance (3–6 months) is justified, while keeping an eye on any macro‑headwinds (e.g., input‑cost inflation) that could compress margins for the broader Danish industrial group.
