PEERS & MARKETS
A bad week for European stock markets (-4.9% Milan, -2.5% London, -3.1% Frankfurt, -4.7% Paris), burdened by fears of the high indebtedness of Spain, Greece and Portugal, and about the strength of the euro.
Sales mainly involved the banking sector (-6.4% the European reference index), the auto& parts sector (-4.5%) and the construction industry (-4.3%).
Pirelli closed the week at € 0.391, a fall of 7.6%. Its peers also closed down, with Continental falling by 6% and Micheln and Nokian by 5%. During the week, Kepler upgraded its recommendation for Pirelli &C from Hold to Buy, with target prices increasing from € 0.45 to € 0.47. The upside is driven by the reduction in the weight of holding costs on NAV, in the light of the company’s declared commitment to the process of focussing on its industrial activities, and the positive expectations for its tyre business in 1H 2010. The Consensus Target price is € 0.486 on coverage of 18 brokers, 76% BUY, 24% Hold.
Pirelli RE closed 7.7% down.
