On Monday, Stifel introduced coverage on Interpump Group SpA (IP:IM) (OTC: IPGLF), issuing a Buy rating and establishing a price target of EUR51.90. The firm highlighted Interpump as an industrial leader with a strong growth history. The company's solid financial performance, even amidst economic volatility, was noted as a significant factor in this positive outlook.
Interpump's use of mergers and acquisitions (M&A) as a strategic tool for growth was underscored as a continuing influence on the company's expansion. Stifel's assessment also pointed out that despite the cyclical nature of Interpump's business, the company has maintained a robust financial track record.
The analyst remarked on the recent market correction, suggesting it provides an appealing opportunity for investors. The rationale is that Interpump is currently trading at a lower valuation compared to its historical averages and relative to its peers. This perceived undervaluation is due to a weaker performance in the first half of 2024 but is expected to be temporary.
Stifel anticipates a resurgence in Interpump's organic growth in the second half of 2024 and into 2025. This potential recovery is seen as a catalyst for a possible re-evaluation of the stock, especially considering the current low market expectations.
