Faurecia: Feedback from RS with management: So Far So Good

Faurecia: (BUY-Top Picks, Fair Value EUR72 (+38%))
Feedback from RS with management: So Far So Good
During a RS organised with the company last week, the management reiterated, with a confidence tone, both its short and mid-term targets despite important macro uncertainties. Faurecia will be one of the few automotive suppliers this year to post LfL sales acceleration and EBIT margin gain versus 2017. We expect lower sales growth in 2019, as for entire industry yet margin should continue to surge as well as FCF/sales ratio. We confirm our Buy rating on Faurecia which remains today the cheapest European automotive supplier within our coverage.

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.
