Investment summary
In its trading update for the five months to the end of May (5M20), XP Power confirmed that it continues to see strong demand from semiconductor and healthcare customers. Orders received for 5M20 of £128.0m were 52% higher y-o-y (£73.1m in Q120 (+34%), £54.9m in April/May (+84%)). With demand from the healthcare sector likely to moderate in H2, and continued uncertainty in other end markets, we maintain our revenue forecasts for FY20/21. We reduce FY20e EPS by 2.7% to reflect short-term increases in air freight costs. The company will report H120 results on 3 August.

Industry outlook
XP supplies four end-markets: healthcare, industrial, semiconductors and technology, across Europe, North America and Asia. The industrial segment is relatively fragmented, but the company sees demand across various applications. The healthcare business continues to gain market share, with corporate approvals from the major suppliers in place. The semiconductor segment is the most cyclical, tracking the capex requirements of semiconductor manufacturers.
