Heidelbergcement: (BUY, Fair Value EUR92 vs. EUR89 (+17%))
Ahead of the investor day, we see more opportunities than risks.
After a poor Q1, HEI should benefit from positive or improving trends for the rest of the year. Contrary to LHN or CRH, HEI footprint is very well balanced between developed and emerging countries. We reckon performances in numerous mature countries will be satisfying this year, that Indonesia pricing pressure is easing while investors might start to anticipate a better market environment in Italy, gradually consolidating. In all, we acknowledge risks exist (energy cost, currencies, Italy political risk), but they are usually known by investors (13% YTD share decline) while HEI management continue to be positive on the rest of the year (strong backlog in US/Europe, positive pricing).

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.
