Robinhood shares gain on Q2 beat, as user and crypto growth accelerate
Barclays (LON:BARC) upgraded Aeroports de Paris (ADP:FP) stock from Equalweight to Overweight on Thursday, raising its price target to EUR125.00 from EUR103.00.
The research firm cited a more favorable balance of risks and opportunities for the French airport operator, despite acknowledging that ADP "remains the same complex conundrum it ever was." Barclays analyst Marco Limite noted that upside risks now outweigh downside risks for the company.
The upgrade comes despite expectations of continued domestic political instability in France. Barclays suggested that ADP’s majority government ownership structure may offer "some additional protection" compared to other domestic infrastructure operators.
Barclays highlighted ADP’s renewed focus on its Parisian business as a positive factor. The firm expects future French governments, regardless of political persuasion, will likely support privately funded infrastructure development that can boost France’s tourism sector and economic growth.
The research firm compared this potential policy direction to the UK government’s recent approach, describing it as a "seemingly Damascene conversion to airport development across the country." ADP’s American Depositary Receipts trade over-the-counter under the ticker ARRPY.
