Deutsche Bank lifts CVC Capital stock rating to Buy, raises target

On Friday, Deutsche Bank (ETR:DBKGn) analysts upgraded CVC Capital Partners (WA:CPAP) plc (CVC:NA) stock from Hold to Buy, adjusting the price target to €22.50, up from €22.00. The upgrade follows a significant sell-off in CVC Capital’s shares, which the analysts deemed excessive compared to its peers. The firm’s shares dropped approximately 15% over the past week due to macroeconomic concerns, while its competitors saw less impact, with EQT (ST:EQTAB) and ICG declining by 5% and Partners Group remaining stable.

The analysts at Deutsche Bank highlighted the attractiveness of CVC Capital’s management fee-related earnings (FRE), noting their resilience and stability. Despite the recent decrease in deal activity, the firm’s analysts maintain a positive outlook, suggesting that historically, buying shares of alternative asset managers during sell-off periods has been beneficial.

The report also acknowledges the broader market’s temporary volatility and the potential for it to create risk-off periods that may delay the recovery of deal activity. However, the analysts remain optimistic about the ingredients necessary to support a recovery being in place.

CVC Capital Partners’ earnings stream, particularly its FRE, was emphasized as a strong point by Deutsche Bank. The analysts’ upgraded rating and increased price target reflect their confidence in the company’s ability to navigate the current economic landscape and capitalize on eventual market recoveries.

The new price target of €22.50 represents a modest increase from the previous €22.00, aligning with Deutsche Bank’s upgraded view on the stock. The analysts’ comments suggest they believe CVC Capital Partners is well-positioned for future growth despite the recent market downturn.
