D'Ieteren - A valuation gap waiting to be filled - DIE BB

D’Ieteren investors got a double treat this month, with the long-awaited investment in TVH parts (€ 1.2bn) and, more importantly, a change in shareholdership at Belron, valuing the company at a whopping EV of € 21bn, far above our estimate of € 12.0bn. After diving deeper into the TVH stake, we conclude that the group is a good fit for DIE’s portfolio with plenty of value remaining to be unlocked. Although the transaction multiple for Belron (36x FY20 EV/REBIT) looks excessive, we believe the new shareholder base can bolster growth going forward. We see the reaction of the DIE share price to the news as modest, leaving a large valuation gap waiting to be filled. As we expect this gap to decrease once Belron volumes normalise, we maintain our Buy and € 190 TP.
