Continental : A welcome transformation, but already priced in

Continental's ongoing transformation into a pure player in the tire sector, first with the imminent spin-off of its automotive business and then, in 2026, with the sale of ContiTech, makes it undeniably more attractive fundamentally. This justifies the re-rating seen since the start of the year and our rating upgrade to Neutral (TP € 79 vs € 70). However, we now see limited upside, and, among tire makers, we see Michelin as more attractive and maintain our preference for the stock (better earnings momentum, more diversified profile, balance sheet, valuation).
