Boliden (Hold, TP: SEK340.00) - Potential upside from Smelters
We reiterate our HOLD and SEK340 target price, reflecting marked-to-market metal prices and FX. Smelters has beaten consensus four quarters running, in our view showing signs of a higher earnings base and stability, offering a re-rating opportunity. However, with a likely earnings headwind for Smelters from falling zinc TCs in 2021e, and limited volume growth in the coming years, we find the stock fairly valued.Boliden AB produces base metals such as zinc, copper and lead for industrial customers throughout Europe. Co.'s operations are conducted within two business areas, namely Mines and Smelters.
