The stock has bounced 14% off its 52-week low of A$88.74, but the ongoing estimate cuts suggest analysts have not yet stabilised their models.

The gap between the strong result and the subdued stock reflects analyst caution over raw material cost increases and geopolitical uncertainty flagged on the earnings call.

Inflection Point06STOCKS

The next-quarter estimate also jumped sharply from DKK 0.51 to DKK 5.70 in the same window, showing the Q1 beat was material enough to reset the full analyst model.
The stock closed at DKK 134.90 on May 3, still 14.3% below its 52-week high of DKK 157.40 despite a 60% YTD gain.

The divergence between the operational record and the estimate cuts points to rising cost assumptions or strike-related disruptions flagged in the Q1 earnings call.
