Oddo BHF maintains its Outperform rating on Stellantis shares, with an unchanged target price of €25.
With Stellantis due to publish its full-year results on February 15, the analyst is 'considerably more optimistic' than the consensus this year (+12% on EBIT), anticipating stable profitability (12.8%e) where the consensus is much more cautious (11.3%).
Stellantis remains our favorite stock in the automotive sector, combining a best-in-class operating performance that is still largely underestimated, a favorable geographic exposure (much North America, little Europe, almost no China) and still significant internal leverage capable of giving it a resilience superior to most peers", says the broker.
Oddo BHF thus expects MOP to be stable vs. 2023 (and up vs. H2) at 12.8%, i.e. 150 bp above consensus expectations (11.3%), as well as FCF of E13 bn vs. a VA consensus of E10.5 bn.
