AMAG confirmed at HOLD, TP EUR 41 - Model update: Minor forecast changes post Q3

Alongside the Q3 release AMAG has expectedly raised its FY 21 EBITDA guidance to EUR175-195 mn from EUR 155-175 mn. Having sat already above the former top end, we have slightly increased forecasts.
In general, we have adopted a more upbeat view on the upstream operations (more promising aluminium price fundamentals), whereas cost inflation has made us more conservative on the downstream part
While price-cost spreads for primary aluminium should have peaked in Q3, the outlook of sustained high prices (above all supply side driven) bodes well for Metal earnings going forward despite the recent pick-up of input costs
Demand for downstream products remains strong but AMAG noted that rising costs (energy, alloys, logistics) will have an increasing impact on downstream margins
We maintan the TP of EUR 41 and stick to the HOLD rating
