WOOD Flash – Titan Cement: solid 3Q confirms resilience

Titan has reported solid 3Q20 results, with EBITDA of EUR 93m (+7.4% yoy). In the 9M20 period EBITDA stood at EUR 229.4m, up 10% yoy, with net profits of EUR 58m, up 28% yoy. The results should, in our view, please the market and confirm the resilience of the numbers during the pandemic on the back of lower energy prices, cost control and stable pricing. The stock is up c.12% since our recent upgrade but still trades at very decent multiples on our rather conservative forecasts (6.3x EV/EBITDA on 2020E, assuming EBITDA growth of 5% yoy vs. 10% achieved in the 9M period). We remain BUYers.
