EKF Diagnostics Holdings plc (LSE:EKF) has secured three new agreements in the Hematology point-of-care testing market, with a combined value of roughly €4.65 million. The deals, signed through EKF’s distribution partners in Latin America and Africa, mark a strong re-entry into Peru and the company’s first sales in Uganda.
To support rising demand, EKF is planning a 30% expansion in production capacity at its Barleben facility, part of its five-year growth strategy. This investment underlines management’s confidence in meeting revenue and adjusted EBITDA targets for fiscal year 2025, consistent with current market expectations. The company’s growing global presence in Hematology analyzers is also expected to generate additional high-margin revenue through increased sales of consumables.
EKF’s financial outlook remains constructive, supported by robust profit margins and low levels of debt. While technical indicators present a mixed picture—some showing positive momentum, others more neutral—the valuation is considered reasonable. The absence of a dividend may deter income-focused investors, but overall prospects remain solid.
