Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac shares tumble after conservatorship comments
Investing.com - Barclays (LON:BARC) upgraded CVC Capital Partners (WA:CPAP) plc ( AMS (VIE:AMS2):CVC) stock rating from Equalweight to Overweight on Tuesday, setting a price target of EUR19.80.
The upgrade reflects CVC’s significant exposure to the secondaries market, which Barclays identifies as a key growth driver that could potentially deliver earnings per share accretion of up to 5% through accelerated fundraising or capital deployment.
Barclays noted that both CVC and Intermediate Capital Group (LON:ICGIN) currently trade at a "notable discount" to their European and U.S. peers, a valuation gap the firm considers "unjustified" given their product mix and earnings profiles.
The research firm maintained its Overweight rating on Intermediate Capital Group, describing it as one of its preferred names in the Diversified Financials sector.
CVC Capital Partners, which listed on the Amsterdam exchange in November 2023, is one of Europe’s largest private equity firms with approximately €186 billion in assets under management as of its public debut.
