Nordlicht Industrie
A good business. The price is not yet convincing.
Nordlicht sells industrial equipment and continues earning from maintenance and spare parts afterward. The new figures support the business. In this example, however, the higher share price does not make buying more compelling.

Understand the stock
The essentials at a glance
Maintenance generates recurring revenue.
Nordlicht builds industrial equipment and also earns money from maintenance and spare parts. In the newly reported quarter, revenue rises by 8% and profit by 12%. This strengthens the previous assessment of the business.
Still not an attractive entry price.
In this example, the price rises by 20%. Assumed earnings per share for a full year rise by only 10%. You therefore pay more for each euro of earnings. Good business results alone do not make the price attractive.
The main risk remains: Almost a third of revenue, exactly 30%, comes from the largest customer. Fewer orders from that customer could affect Nordlicht significantly.
Keep watching rather than acting on good figures alone.
The growing business is a positive. The higher price and dependence on one major customer argue against a clearly positive overall assessment.
Before and now · fictional
What has changed?
The earlier analysis is dated September 30, 2026. The new assessment of October 8, 2026 takes the new quarterly announcement into account. Both remain available for comparison.
Business performance
- Previously
- A solid business: maintenance and spare parts generate recurring revenue.
- Now
- The newly reported quarterly figures confirm the positive impression: revenue +8%, profit +12%.
Why? Profit is growing faster than revenue. In this example, that suggests costs grew more slowly.
share price
- Previously
- The stock is not particularly cheap.
- Now
- Still no clearly attractive price: the price rose more than assumed annual earnings per share.
Why? Price and profit are developing differently. More profit therefore does not automatically mean a cheaper stock.
Risks and open questions
- Previously
- One large customer contributes 30% of revenue. If it orders less, profit could suffer significantly.
- Now
- This dependence remains. It also remains unclear whether the new growth will continue.
Why? One good quarter does not remove customer concentration. Future costs and orders remain uncertain.

View figures, assumptions and source notes
Entirely fictional. There are no real sources for this example. Nordlicht is not a real company. There are no original reports or real MARQORA analyses for these figures. All information is provided solely to demonstrate the layout.
How Nordlicht makes money
Nordlicht sells industrial equipment. After a sale, the company continues earning from maintenance and spare parts. In this example, these account for 40% of revenue, making the business less dependent on sales of new equipment alone.
What the new quarterly figures show
In this example, a new quarter is reported on October 8, 2026: revenue rises from €100 million to €108 million and profit from €10 million to €11.2 million compared with the same quarter a year earlier. These increases are 8% and 12%. The earlier analysis already stated growth of 8% based on the data available at that time; the new quarterly announcement with the additional profit comparison was not yet available to it.
The case for and against the business
Maintenance and spare parts provide recurring revenue. Cash remains after costs; debt was described as manageable in the previous example. However, the new quarterly announcement here provides no new information about debt or available cash. Dependence on the largest customer remains a material counterargument: that customer contributes 30% of revenue.
A separate calculation for the share price
For this comparison, we explicitly add fictional prices and annual assumptions. Earnings per share is the portion of a company's profit calculated for a single share.
| Item | Previously | Now |
|---|---|---|
| share price | €72.00 October 1, 2026 Additional comparison figure | €86.40 October 8, 2026 |
| Assumed earnings per share for one year | €4.00 | €4.40 |
| Price for €1 of annual earnings | €18.00 | about €19.60 |
The share price rises by 20%, while assumed annual earnings per share rise by 10%. The calculation is 72 ÷ 4 = 18 before, and 86.40 ÷ 4.40 ≈ 19.6 now. In this example, investors therefore pay more for each euro of assumed annual earnings.
Quarterly and annual figures are separate: The €4.40 for a full year is a separate fictional assumption. The 12% quarterly profit increase has not been extrapolated to the year. The annual figure is not a reliable forecast.
The earlier sample analysis assessed the stock at 18 times annual earnings; similar companies in the fictional comparison were at 16 to 19 times. But the new multiple alone does not determine whether the price is good. Growth, risks and the reliability of earnings assumptions also matter. Here, an attractive price is still not evident.
What remains unclear
How long will growth last? What will happen to labor and material costs? Will the major customer stay? Will the assumed annual earnings be achieved? The good quarter and sample calculation do not answer these questions. Future share prices cannot be inferred from them with certainty.
Which sources a real analysis would need
The quarterly announcement of October 8, 2026, previous company reports and the origin of share prices would be linked here with their respective dates. Annual assumptions would need to be justified and distinguished from reported results. No such original sources exist for this fictional example.
