Continental's ContiTech Unit Sale Progressing at Reasonable Valuation -- Market Talk

Dow Jones03-24 17:49

0948 GMT - (Dow Jones) Continental shares are oversold and newsflow suggesting that the sale of its ContiTech business is progressing at a reasonable valuation range is positive, Citi analysts write. Bloomberg reported that the ContiTech business is potentially being valued at between 3.5 billion and 4 billion euros, which is below Citi's valuation of 4.6 billion euros. However, a sale at the mid-point would still leave the remaining Continental business trading at a valuation below key peers Michelin and Pirelli, offering compelling upside. The bank thinks recent share price weakness in Continental had effectively discounted any such sale even happening on account of recent uncertainty in raw material prices and availability, rates and valuations. Citi rates Continental at buy with a 78 euro target price. Shares fall 1.1% to 59.10 euros. (dominic.chopping@wsj.com)
