Kepler Cheuvreux upgrades Cementir Holding stock to Buy on attractive valuation

Investing.com - Kepler Cheuvreux upgraded Cementir Holding NV (BIT:CEM) from Hold to Buy while maintaining its price target of EUR15.20, citing attractive upside potential following the stock’s recent correction.

The cement producer’s shares have fallen 17% since their peak on July 11, a decline that Kepler Cheuvreux believes has more than accounted for the company’s weak first-half earnings performance, which was largely attributed to non-recurring headwinds.

Despite muted earnings in the first half of the year, Cementir’s management has confirmed its full-year guidance, expressing confidence in restored EBITDA growth during the second half of 2024.

Kepler Cheuvreux’s unchanged price target of EUR15.20 represents a 16% upside potential from current levels, with the firm noting the stock currently trades at 4.2x EV/EBITDA for 2025 estimates, decreasing to 3.1x for 2027 estimates.

The research firm also highlighted Cementir’s attractive free cash flow yield of 9-11% projected over the 2025-2027 period as a supporting factor for the rating upgrade.
