Un S2 plus « challenging » - NEUTRE - OC 78€ (vs 83€)

La société publiait ses résultats trimestriels qui se révélaient nettement supérieurs aux attentes. Malgré un bon S1 en termes de marge le groupe n’a pas relevé sa guidance annuelle. En effet le S2 risque d’être plus compétitif avec des coûts de R&D qui devraient significativement augmenter (lancement de Bimekizumab en phase IIb). Après avoir ajusté principalement nos attentes de frais R&D, nous ressortons dans le bas de la fourchette de guidance d’EBITDA à 969m€ (guidance entre 970 et 1 010m€) pour un Core BNA de 3,02€ (guidance entre 2,90 et 3,20€). Nous abaissons notre objectif de cours de 83€ à 78€ intégrant également la mise à jour de notre WACC qui passe de 7,1% à 7,5%. Dans un contexte d’incertitude qui plane sur Vimpat, nous maintenons notre recommandation à NEUTRE.
