** Stifel initiates coverage on Sixt SIXG.DE with "buy"
rating and a 96 euro target price on grounds of the German car
rental company posing hard-to-unlock yet clear value
** "Sixt is the market-leading car rental business in
Germany and is a strong operator in Europe as well as being the
premium segment challenger in the US," the broker says
** Stifel further acknowledges the company's considerable
innovative power as well as its strong equity ratio of 35% (9M
2021) and strong cash flow on the back of current unprecedented
pricing
** "We think that the main driver is the US," the broker
adds, seeing potential in Sixt's 1.5% market share to generate
one billion euros of revenue in 2023/24
** Out of 10 analysts that cover Sixt, eight rate the stock
"strong buy" or "buy," one analyst rates "hold" and one rates
the stock "sell"
