Bekaert FIRST LOOK: FY22 in line, no precise guidance, new share buybacks

Bekaert's FY uEBIT dropped 10.5% to 459m (KBCS & CSS 460m). There is no precise guidance on FY23 but Bekaert reiterated its mid term ambition of 9-11% uEBIT margin and started another €120m share buyback program, reflecting the strong balance sheet. The support from buybacks and the attractive valuation prompt us to reiterate our BUY rating and € 47 TP.
