FRANKFURT (dpa-AFX) - Kontron shares rose by 3.1 percent to 19.85 percent on Wednesday. The high-tech company had announced a major order in the field of e-mobility. According to the information, the newly acquired subsidiary Katek is to produce intelligent wallboxes for the European and Chinese markets. The order volume was put at 120 million euros until 2028.

Analyst Tim Wunderlich from Hauck Aufhäuser Investment Banking described the order as a catalyst for growth and estimated the operating margin (EBITDA) of the order at around 10 percent. He assumes that Kontron's customers, including Volkswagen, Porsche AG and Volvo Cars, will use the wallbox as a "white label" and sell it directly. Kontron therefore has a strong indirect sales network./edh/jha/
