Fraport

Barclays has reduced its rating for Fraport from "Equal Weight" to "Underweight" and lowered the price target from €68 to €57. Analyst Andrew Lobbenberg expects weaker traffic for the airport operator, as well as for the entire European sector, during the winter. » Altro su finanzen.net

Fraport reports an August cargo increase of 2.9%, which offsets a slight passenger decline of 0.3%. Analysts are divided: Jefferies reiterates a "Buy" with a €85 target (about +41% potential), the analyst consensus is €75, while the InvestingPro fair-value model sees only €52.44. The stock trades just above its 52-week low and is technically oversold with an RSI around 27; this year is likely to bring a decline in EPS due to ramp-up costs for Terminal 3. A pronounced cash-flow recovery and upcoming quarterly results will be decisive for a revaluation. » Altro su de.investing.com

JPMorgan maintains a buy recommendation for Fraport with a price target of €81 and sees potential in the European airport sector, supported by Terminal 3 and a cargo offensive. Against this are three headwinds: a conservative valuation model with a fair value well below the share price, a majority of analysts recommending only “hold”, and the upcoming exclusion from the Stoxx Europe 600 on 21 September, which could trigger forced selling. Additional operational risks arise from tougher EU border controls (EES) and Lufthansa’s capacity/cost strategy at the hub. » Altro su de.investing.com
