Eni: Berenberg lowers target price
(CercleFinance.com) - While maintaining its 'hold' recommendation on Eni, Berenberg has lowered its target price from E15.
8 to E15.5, following a 5%/6% reduction in its estimated EPS for 2024/2025 respectively, mainly due to lower downstream profits.
While the broker considers the Italian energy group's latest quarterly publication to be solid, it believes that downstream remains a drag on earnings, with lower refining margins and chemicals still heavily loss-making by 2025.
While the company is making strategic progress (in particular, the sale of 25% of Enilive), we anticipate a FCF yield of around 9% for 2025 and, consequently, consider the share to be correctly valued for the time being, he adds.
