- Research department of MainFirst Bank AG rates CANCOM with "Outperform".

- Strategic strengthening of cloud-based Managed Services business creates high growth and margin potential.

Munich, Germany, 18 March 2019 - MainFirst Bank AG initiated the coverage of CANCOM SE shares with a first research report. Thus the development of CANCOM is now analyzed on a regular basis by seven banks. MainFirst rates the CANCOM share in its initiation report with "Outperform" and a price target of EUR 44.

The report underlines two main factors for the positive rating: On the one hand "CANCOM is actively tackling the transformation into a provider of Managed and Cloud Services, which should translate into superior growth, paired with higher margin potential". On the other hand MainFirst analyzes: "With its strong balance sheet and extensive track record in M&A, we see CANCOM as best placed to capitalize both organically and through acquisitions in the shift from a traditional IT-reseller towards a provider of shared managed solutions."
