Plastic Omnium: A free-option to play future development of FCEVs, yet still too expensive on short term

Plastic Omnium: (NEUTRAL, Fair Value EUR39 (-4%))
A free-option to play future development of FCEVs, yet still too expensive on short term
We come back on group’s investment case following a RS we organised with the IR in Brussels last week. Plastic Omnium remains quite well positioned on both exterior parts and fuel tanks activities to easily outperform global automotive market thanks notably to its innovative products portfolio. Group’s margin should continue to slightly increase on midterm, closer to 10% despite the dilutive impact of FAE. All in all we reiterate our Neutral rating on the case without modifying our EPS estimates. We clearly appreciate group’s strategy yet still see very limited upside on earnings and on valuation metrics. The stock offers free-option to play future development of FCEVs though.

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.
