Continental: FV cut by EUR19 following yesterday's profit warning, we downgrade our rating to Sell

We adjusted our 2018/19 EPS negatively after yesterday’s group’s profit warning on both its Automotive and Rubber divisions as for H2-18. We are still surprised by the timing of such communication only few weeks after group’s H1-18 earnings presentation. We understand a large part of this profit warning is company specific, with the group being too optimistic on its ability to convert an order book in real sales (similarly to Valeo?). We cut our rating from Neutral to Sell.

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.
