Peel Hunt: Weir’s mining move was right choice


Plans for engineer Weir (WEIR) to focus on mining will reduce volatility and increase resilience, says Shore Capital.

Analyst Akhil Patel retained his ‘buy’ recommendation and ‘fair value’ target price of £22.50 on the stock, which closed down 3.3% at £14.37 on Tuesday after a capital markets day.

‘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…,̵7; said Patel, ahead of the event.

‘Becoming a pure-play mining-focused business reduces volatility, increases resilience, and enhances its earning quality via its aftermarket earnings profile.’

Trading on a current year forecast price-to-earnings (PE) ratio of 17.6, he said the valuation seems ‘too low’ given the above attributes. ‘Thus, we see upside in the shares from a re-rating perspective given the favourable near-term drivers and market backdrop.’

Patel said his target price implies a 23x PE ratio for the full year, which is not unreasonable for ‘a premium mining-focused business with long-term structural growth drivers given the expected transition of the mining industry to adopt more technological, sustainable, efficient, and environmentally friendly practises’.

Miners and cap goods generally weak. Caterpillar -5% on results too. CAT have been held back by components and margin squeeze but expect to improve from here. OE orders down due to Base effect of big Ferrexpo order but rolling 12m looks ok. AM 75% of orders , very strong with some pull forward of orders due to concerns re availability in future. Will see some small -ve earnings due to Russia but overall trend should be decent for next few years.
