Michelin: A performance in line with expectations despite strong FX headwind
Yesterday after market Michelin posted a perf. in line with market expectations, despite strong FX headwind. As anticipated, LfL sales and EBIT growth came from Price/Mix effect and from Specialties business. 2018 targets were reiterated implying strong growth to expect in H2 on EBIT and earnings. We reiterate our Buy rating on Michelin with a FV of EUR146/sh. Risk/reward looks to us quite attractive at current share price.

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.
