The market is pricing in losses and acting as if the
Thrustmasterand Hercules audio businesses will soon be liquidated, instead of acknowledging the raised forecast and profit guidance that just came out today.

Things aren't perfect or easy, but let’s not forget the context and price here: $GUI is raising guidance while currently having a €75 million market cap at €5.1, €36m in cash, and €40 million in working capital.

A lot of newsflow and momentum into Q4 & Christmas for highest volume products competing mainly with Logitech $LOGI.
All in all I believe Guillemot has delivered a very strong print, and I’ll be surprised if there isn’t a strong market reaction tomorrow.

T598 wheels production is back. There's a transition underway to a new generation of entry level products (the previous ones were quite old, having been on the market for over 5 years), so new launches are coming soon.

That's why company guides for positive profits too.
A decline of only 5% y/y in Q2 (considering Trump’s tariffs and massive export and pricing issues to the US) in my opinion is significantly better than expected.

Another clear positive is the recent easing of procurement processes in Germany by Bundeswehr which looks to ease and speed up contracts.

So, by this it really seems like a big gap of sets that needs to be ordered to assure that the majority of soldiers will be equipped.
Certainly, it is very important in a combat scenario.
July 30, 2025 at 12:05 PM
It will be very interesting to follow the order development on this side given this new large planned expansion which is much larger number at the time when the large framework contract time was signed 191k sets until 2031.
July 30, 2025 at 12:05 PM
There seems to be a very large gap between amount of soldiers versus sets procured 191k for the Bundeswehr contract and this communication is mission critical.

Yes there are only few leaders left in PAM niche... and Wallix $ALLIX is the only European one.

Current $CYBR FY2025 multiple is 16x Sales. This multiple applied to Wallix means it should change hands/control at >€102 vs €23 now.
I know it should have discount, due to smaller size and European focus, so please do your own math, what will happen when cybersecurity consolidation is accelerating.
July 29, 2025 at 5:40 PM
Remember the recent interview with Wallix CEO? There he mentioned "Regarding a change of control of WALLIX, we are regularly approached and open to discussion" (translation from french)
Exciting times ahead to say the least.

Well, just wondering here with these strong signals for for how much longer can it stay deeply undiscovered? And secondly wondering for how long can this unique european cybsec high quality software pureplay remain listed?
July 20, 2025 at 6:36 AM
Overall industry context is very important here - there is ONLY one industry accredited leading local player in EU: it is Wallix. The rest are basically US or Israeli players that are currently much, much larger than Wallix.
It is what it is.

Just recently but not mentioned in the report is also Computer Gross in Italy one of the largest IT distributors in Italy (>2BN EUR Revenues). t.co/bXiDbxJRMf

It is interesting to note that Wallix is rapidly increasing contracts with large players across the board, naturally this should speak for strong continued growth.
