** Berenberg upgrades Pluxee PLX.PA to "buy" from "hold"
seeing an optimistic growth outlook and a positive regulatory
outlook in 2025
** The broker says Pluxee's Q1 results, published on January
8, highlight the momentum in business development and underlying
trends
** It notes the company benefits from a comfort surrounding
the regulatory outlook after a year of share underperforming
partly due to concerns surrounding potential negative regulatory
updates
** Berenberg believes that current guidance, which is
ahead of consensus expectations, is achievable and that the
current valuation more than accounts for potential earnings risk
** It maintains its 30 euros ($31.13) target price
** Out of 15 analysts that cover Pluxee, five rate the stock
"strong buy" or "buy", nine rate "hold" and one rates the stock
"sell"
($1 = 0.9638 euros)
