Investing.com - Bernstein downgraded Continental AG (ETR:CON) (OTC:CTTAY) from Market Perform to Underperform on Wednesday, while raising its price target slightly to EUR66.00 from EUR64.00.
The downgrade comes just weeks before Continental finalizes the spinoff of its automotive unit, Aumovio, to shareholders on September 18, 2025, which will transform the company into a focused tire and rubber industrial goods business.
Bernstein’s analysis indicates that Continental is currently trading at 7.3x EBIT, matching the multiple of pure-play tire competitors Michelin and Pirelli, despite still containing the lower-margin and more cyclical Aumovio and ContiTech divisions.
The research firm believes the anticipated value creation from the spinoff has already been priced into the stock, with the market currently valuing Continental’s enterprise at approximately EUR22.5 billion.
Bernstein estimates the fair enterprise value of both resulting companies should be closer to EUR20 billion, supporting its more cautious stance ahead of the September separation.
