OHB SE: Positive Outlook Amidst Major Satellite Orders

OHB SE has been rated a 'BUY' by NuWays AG, with a target price of EUR 340, expecting a strong outlook for its order intake. The company recently secured a nearly €1 billion order for the IRIS² project. This involves the development of 18 medium Earth orbit satellite platforms, enhancing Europe’s secure communication capabilities. Poland's interest in additional satellites could boost OHB's orders by €200 million.

OHB is also nearing a significant contract with ESA for the Sentinel-3 mission, potentially valued at €650 million. The mission will advance sea-level and ice monitoring, reinforcing OHB's role in Earth observation.

The SATCOMBw 4 project is another opportunity, with expected orders of €5-7 billion. These contracts highlight OHB's position in the market, with the potential for major share price catalysts. Financial projections for Q3 indicate a 16% growth year-over-year, driven by a rising backlog valuated at €4.2 billion.
