** Shares in Metso METSO.HE fall 3.5% after the Finnish mining equipment maker provided new financial targets for years 2026-2030

** Metso now aims at its adjusted EBITA margin to be over 18% against "over 17% over the cycle" targeted earlier, while setting a new CAGR goal of at least 7%

** But Jefferies notes that the new goals imply only a 4% EBITA uplift in forecasts for 2028, seeing the EBITA margin target as "a little underwhelming"

** "The targets may disappoint those who were looking for something punchier" RBC analysts say

** "With a stock that has run well into the event, this is probably not enough to move the shares on", Jefferies adds

** Metso shares have risen 30% year-to-date
