Mytilineos: firing up the engines (stays BUY)

In this report, we have recalibrated our estimates for 2023-25E and raise our 12M price target (PT) to EUR 32.2/share (+29% upside potential), reiterating our BUY rating on Mytilineos. Since our previous update, in December 2022, the stock is up c.40%, but we still believe that there is room for a further upgrade, on the back of a stronger earnings outlook. In 2022, the company outdid all expectations, setting a solid foundation for this year, targeting EUR 1.0bn in EBITDA. That said, we anticipate 2023E to be another record year for Mytilineos, on the back of:1) the robust LME environment in the metallurgy division; 2) the doubling of capacity in thermal energy generation; and 3) noteworthy growth in RES projects in both its own portfolio and BOT projects. We see a significant uplift vs. our previous forecasts, and now expect EBITDA growth of 12% and 9% in 2023E and 2024E, respectively, a strong balance sheet, and a decent dividend yield, despite the aggressive capex plans. On our numbers, the stock trades at 6.8x P/E and 4.8x EV/EBITDA for 2023E. We remain BUYers.
