Aperam - Recovery of base prices takes longer than anticipated

•    Q1-24 will be flattish qoq, and Q2-24 is unlikely to be much better as the anticipated recovery in European base prices takes longer than expected.•    We have lowered our FY24 EBITDA by -23%, but FY25/26 by only -3% as we still see room for volume/price recovery in the course of H2-24.•    We stick to our Hold rating with a TP of EUR 30, based on our 2025E SOTP with an overall target EV/EBITDA of around 5x.
