Outokumpu (Hold, TP: EUR5.70) - Staying on the sidelines

We retain our HOLD recommendation and have lowered our target price to EUR5.7 (6.1.) assuming 2018e and 2019e EV/EBITDA of 7.5x and 6.5x, respectively. Internal issues in the US and increasing dependency in trade politics in Europe are reasons to not to get involved, as the valuation is in line with peers on our 2018 and 2019 forecasts.
