** Stifel starts Buzzi with "hold" as it says further
upsides are connected to the ability of the group to bring down
more markedly its carbon footprint
** The Italian construction group's carbon footprint of
4,368 tons for 1 million euros ($1.06 million) of revenue is of
one of the highest of the sector, it says
** Buzzi is "one of the best operators in the sector", its
trading is resilient and has potential for upside surprises, but
decarbonisation is a key rating driver, it adds
** It sets a price target of 38 euros per share, while at
Monday's close Buzzi traded at 41.64 euros per share
** Out of 17 analysts that cover Buzzi, 10 rate the stock
"strong buy" or "buy", six rate "hold" and one rates the stock
"sell"
($1 = 0.9447 euros)
