Bastide : Coming out of convalescence to regain lost leeway

The stock price has plunged since consensus began to see the group’s debt burden as excessively heavy and quite crippling. Having embarked on a deleveraging process with disposals to reduce leverage, Bastide should enter a positive phase marked by very healthy growth momentum in services, fuelled by margin-boosting mix effects. We are raising our rating to Outperform from Neutral and lifting our target price to € 27 from € 25.5.
