Metso (Buy, TP: EUR42.00) - Soft Q4 – future remains bright
Metso’s Q4 was on the weaker side on almost all operational lines. However, in our view the better than expected dividend proposal yielding 4.2%, unchanged market outlook, encouraging current trading comments, and de/merger offer support for the case. We reiterate our BUY and EUR42 target price, but have made minor estimates changes across the board.Metso is a global services, products and systems provider.
