This stock screens as High Risk in our quantitative model. We also believe a High Risk rating is supported by the risks we mention below, so a High Risk rating has been applied.
We identify the following risks that could prevent the shares reaching our target price: i) sustainability of market share, where several start-ups are looking at entering the space; ii) success in new growth areas such as WMS/WMC software is as yet unproven; iii) AutoStore is exposed to raw material fluctuations, which can impact its cost base – this represents both an upside and downside risk. Another upside risk is that the cubic storage market could grow more than industry forecasts.
