Mayr-Melnhof confirmed at BUY, TP EUR 194 - Working through a transition year

We maintain the BUY recommendation for Mayr-Melnhof but lower the target price to EUR 194 from EUR 210 as we have factored in the earnings pressure arising from input prices
We deem FY 21 a transition year, shaped by input cost inflation, restructuring and the beginning M&A integration
MM Group should be able to restore earnings and thus also dividend growth as of next year
Investments in new capacities should allow tangible volume growth going forward. A stabilisation of major cost items (foremost waste paper) is key for selling price hikes effectively reversing the margin erosion
