Mayr-Melnhof confirmed at BUY, TP EUR 209 - Estimates and TP raised post blowout prelim. Q2 earnings

We have increased our estimates, which in turn triggered a target price increase to EUR 209 from EUR 192, underpinning our BUY recommendation
We have been upbeat about a sequentially improved earnings power post already strong Q1 but the the actual earnings uptick in Q2 blew away expectations
While the H2 earnings run-rate should come down, we are confident that MM Group can exceed the EUR 500 mn threshold in FY 22e
Impairments of RU/UA assets most likely were not triggered in Q2 but the risk is still looming. We think that the dependence on gas in the MM Board & Paper production and associated supply concerns are burdening the sentiment towards the stock
We acknowledge the gas-related concerns but our positive perception of the investment story and its catalysts remains intact
