Michelin acquires Camso to become the leader in off-road mobility

Yesterday during market, Michelin confirmed that it is acquiring the Canadian off-road tires supplier Camso for a total EV of EUR1.4bn, the main objective being to reinforce its position within the off-road business. Post synergies, this acquisition should be accretive for group’s EBIT margin. Management took the opportunity to announce the doubling of the synergies linked to the Fenner acquisition. We revise up our estimates to integrate all new elements, leading to a 4% upward revision on our 2019e EPS. Our FV is also up from EUR142/sh to EUR146/sh. We confirm the Buy rating on Michelin which with, the Fenner and Camso’s acquisitions, aims to become a more industrial group, thus spurring margins. Positive.

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.
