Tessenderlo Solid balance sheet and FCF generation create options

We appreciate the efforts to step up investor communication as evidenced by the recent analyst & asset manager day. Whilst business conditions in a number of end markets are still challenging, we still expect Tessenderlo to generate between € 150-200m FCF per annum in the coming years. Starting from a very solid balance sheet, capital allocation is a crucial theme in the equity story. Tessenderlo has recently embarked upon a new € 69m share buyback program and we view share buybacks as an excellent way to create shareholder value. Despite the tough earnings momentum, we consider valuation to be clearly attractive and reiterate our Accumulate rating and € 34 target price.
