Plastic Omnium: 2019 EPS revised up by 4.5% following HBPO integration, FV up €2 to €41.

Plastic Omnium: (NEUTRAL, Fair Value EUR41 vs. EUR39 (+7%))
2019 EPS revised up by 4.5% following HBPO integration, FV up €2 to €41.
We now fully consolidate HBPO into our Plastic Omnium’s model, which implies respectively a 1.5% and 4.5% favourable impact in our 2019e EPS vs. previously. Profitability will be negatively affected (>180bp net negative impact on group’s EBIT margin – POM definition) yet the group will remain one of the European supplier with the highest ROCE metrics. We upgraded our FV by €2 to €41 yet maintained our Neutral rating on the stock due to the lack of short term momentum and the limited short term upside potential. We also assume multiples paid by investors could be altered negatively by the change in profitability level.

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.
