Top of the Street: H&M, L'Oreal, EQT, Rheinmetall, Eni, ASMI
A round-up of notable broker activity this morning from Europe's top-ranked* analysts:
** Deutsche Bank double-upgrades H&M HMb.ST to "buy" from "sell", saying it expects structural earnings growth to be higher than the growth potential recognised by the market
** RBC raises L'Oreal OREP.PA to "sector perform" from "underperform", saying the French cosmetics giant has maintained volume growth despite significant price increases and sluggish China
** Deutsche Bank cuts EQT EQTAB.ST to "hold" from "buy", saying it expects a "rather unexciting" Q2 in a still tough fundraising and deal environment, despite a positive medium-term outlook on private markets
** Barclays downgrades British sportswear retailer JD Sports Fashion JD.L to "underweight" from "equal-weight", citing Nike's NKE.N "weak" Q4 and pointing to JD Sports' about 50% revenue exposure to the U.S. sportswear retailer
** Morgan Stanley cuts British multinational private equity and venture capital firm 3i Group III.L to "equal-weight" from "overweight" as it awaits capital market recovery, but says compounding characteristics of 3i-owned discount retailer Action remain compelling
INITIATIONS AND REINSTATEMENTS
** Morgan Stanley initiates Rheinmetall RHMG.DE with "overweight", saying the German arms manufacturer's mid-term growth potential is underappreciated by the market
** Barclays starts coverage of Andritz ANDR.VI with "equal-weight", seeing a mid-single-digit EBITA downside risk for the Austrian industrial equipment maker in FY 2025 and few near-term catalysts for a re-rating
** Barclays also initiates Valmet VALMT.HE with "underweight", warning that the Finnish engineering company's 2025 earnings could be 45% lower than currently expected
** Stifel starts Dutch semiconductor equipment manufacturer ASM International ASMI.AS with "buy", urging investors to maintain a long-term view of its "quasi monopoly" in atomic layer depositioning (ALD) technology, and says it expects the company to continue to deliver
** Morgan Stanley resumes coverage of Eni ENI.MI at "equal-weight", citing the Italian energy group's attractive valuation even if it sees more downside risks to 2024 consensus
