Kontron is a good example of how future winners can be identified. Of course, this is not the only method of finding potential price rockets, but in my view it is one of the simplest and most reliable.
If a share price moves sideways for years, even though sales, profits and cash flow are rising steadily, pressure builds up over time. But at some point, the facts can no longer be ignored.
In most cases, this results in an impulsive upward movement and a rethink on the stock market. First fundamentally oriented investors get in, then active traders and finally the masses.
All you have to do is position yourself in advance and wait, gravity will do the rest

The first upward impulse has catapulted Kontron from around EUR 16 to EUR 29. However, this could be just the beginning of a protracted rally phase.
The share price is no higher today than in 2018, although profits are twice as high and the quality of the company has improved as a result of the strategic realignment.
In the last financial year, Kontron achieved a 16% jump in profits to EUR 1.42 per share and has consistently built on this in the current financial year.
In the first quarter, sales increased from EUR 356.1 million to EUR 385.4 million and earnings from EUR 0.26 to EUR 0.33 per share. The order backlog climbed from EUR 2.08 billion to EUR 2.19 billion and the value of the project pipeline even increased from EUR 6.64 billion to EUR 7.45 billion.
In the second quarter, turnover increased from EUR 395.7 million to EUR 423.8 million and earnings from EUR 0.35 to EUR 1.12 per share.
Why investors should no longer ignore Kontron
After six months, Kontron has thus earned almost as much as in the previous year. The positive trend is likely to continue in the future, as the order backlog rose from EUR 2.08 billion to EUR 2.28 billion and the value of the project pipeline increased from EUR 6.64 billion to EUR 7.72 billion.
As a result, Kontron has raised its forecast for the EBITDA this year from at least EUR 220 million to at least EUR 270 million, which corresponds to an increase of 40% or more.
According to consensus estimates, earnings should rise by 50% to EUR 2.20 per share this year.
This means that the P/E ratio today is as high or low as it was at the low of around EUR 16 in 2024.
This suggests that the share price potential may not yet be exhausted. Added to this is a solid Dividendenrendite of 3.0%
