Campari: Downgraded to Neutral on valuation grounds

Campari: (NEUTRAL vs. BUY, Fair Value EUR7 (-4%))
Downgraded to Neutral on valuation grounds
The fundamentals of the group remain excellent, with Aperol accelerating further and Grand Marnier recovering. Over the past month, the stock rose by 12.3% on an absolute basis and 13.7% vs DJ Stoxx. We think this strong share performance has been partly helped by the group’s low exposure to imported spirits in the US. They represent an estimated 30% of its US sales vs 99% for Rémy Cointreau, 80% for Pernod Ricard and 70% for Diageo. The stock is now trading on an EV/EBIT of 24.9x in 2018 vs 21x for the sector. We downgrade to Neutral. The Fair Value is unchanged at EUR7.

Since 1996, Bryan, Garnier & Co has been growing with an absolute conviction that the investment banking landscape would experience a major revolution: most of the large local generalist banking groups will disappear to the benefit of a handful of global powerhouses, and an emerging group of independent, highly specialised boutique investment banks.
