A round-up of notable broker activity this morning from Europe's
top-ranked* analysts:
INITIATIONS AND REINSTATEMENTS
** Exane BNP Paribas initiates Exor EXOR.AS with a
"neutral" rating and EUR 75 target price, saying the risk-reward
seems balanced for the holding company of Italy's Agnelli family
** Citi adds "buy"-rated STMicroelectronics STM.PA to its
European Focus List, saying the Franco-Italian chipmaker's
end-market and customer exposures make it more resilient than
peers
** Citi also adds "sell"-rated French mall owner Klepierre
LOIM.PA to the list, as possible profitability issues for some
tenants could make it harder for the group to raise rents
** Another stock added to Citi's focus list is Swiss pharma
group Roche, rated "buy", with the broker flagging a "highly
attractive risk-reward" at current valuation
** Citi also adds "sell"-rated shipping giant Maersk
MAERSKb.CO to the list, and removes "buy"-rated Entain
ENT.L , Haleon HLN.L , Arcelormittal MT.LU , Umicore UMI.BR
and Capgemini CAPP.PA , and "sell"-rated Orsted ORSTED.CO
