Zumtobel raised to BUY, TP EUR 8.0 - Recovery potential not adequately reflected in valuation

We upgrade Zumtobel to BUY from HOLD with a new target price of EUR 8.0 (EUR 7.5)
Having been exposed to material top-line pressure in Q1-3, we assume that headwinds should ease going forward due to easier comps and a more favourable development of the order book
Cost control has been compelling throughout the crisis, in our view, and a late-cyclical recovery would allow for operating leverage to turn positive
We consider the valuation very attractive with EV/EBITDA of just 4.1x on this years (Covid-19 impacted) figures, falling to 3.4x on FY 21/22e. The group should be able to sustain double-digit FCF yields throughout the forecast horizon
