Peel Hunt upgrades ‘great opportunity’ Weir

Peel Hunt has upgraded Weir Group (WEIR) as it believes the engineer’s shares offer quality at a low price.

Analyst Harry Philips upgraded his recommendation from ‘hold’ to ‘buy’ and increased the target price to £22.50 on the stock, which closed up 3.8%, or 64p, at £17.52 on Tuesday.

‘A world leader with a substantial aftermarket content, premium margins and a robust balance sheet is trading on 16.9x 2023 price/earnings,’ he said.

That compares with its UK industrial peers such as Hill & Smith (HILS) on 21.2x, Rotork (ROR) on 23.5x and Spectris (SXS) on 21.8x.

‘UK peer parity would put Weir at £22.50, our new target price, with further upside when it makes the next step up in margins, which we believe it can achieve. We believe the recent weakness is a great opportunity,’ said Philips.

Support hopefully at 1430p ... and if that goes then back to 1200p.

[philanderer] 03/8/2021 09:12

Back to sub 1500p and it's @rse kicked out of the FTSE100 by the look of it.

Structural tailwinds should help Weir rerate


Specialist mining engineer Weir Group (WEIR) will reap the benefit of long-term structural tailwinds as the mining sector adopts newer technologies, according to Shore Capital.

Analyst Akhil Patel retained his ‘buy’ recommendation on the stock after a first quarter update that showed ‘good order growth as market conditions improved’. After modest gains on Thursday, the stock closed down 2.2%, or 43p, at £19.17 on Friday.

‘Population growth, the convergence of living standards in developing economies, urbanisation, ore grade decline, and decarbonisation all point in Weir’s favour as demand for essential mining commodities is growing [and] required,’ he said.

Patel said mining peers have rerated as market conditions improved and Weir should follow suit.

‘We retain our “buy” recommendation in a premium mining-focused business with long-term structural drivers given the expected transition of the mining industry to adopt more technological, sustainable, efficient and environmentally friendly practices,’ he said.

Credit Suisse said it upgraded Weir Group PLC (LON:WEIR) to ‘outperform217; as the mining equipment company has underperformed its European peers by 28% in the last three months and created a buying opportunity.

The company’s fundaments are strong, Credit Suisse said as it raised its recommendation from ‘neutral’;.

“We also publish today our Mining Equipment primer and see strong fundamentals for Weir’s mining end market that can see Weir establish status as a higher quality, aftermarket driven, earnings compounder.”

The broker said it also sees an opportunity for free cash flow conversion to improve after the integration of Esco, which Weir bought in 2018, and the disposal of the oil and gas division completed this February.

“We forecast 77% conversion in 2021E-23E compared to cumulative 49% conversion in 2016-20,” it said.
