JPM conferma l'underweight.
Piccolo estratto da report odierno :
In our view Astaldi is in an increasingly binary situation with a successful capital increase potentially buying Astaldi time to complete disposal of its shareholder loan in the 3 rd Bosphorus bridge (expecting c.€200m from this) and potentially also its equity stake (€167m book value, no guidance on potential proceeds). Even with success in these transactions we don't think it will solve Astaldi's problems of excessive leverage and negative cash flow, but these actions may support refinancing of its short term debt and give Astaldi more time to grow EBITDA and complete further disposals. If Astaldi sees liquidity pressures in the coming months from failure to roll bank lines or pressures on working capital, or if it fails to execute its capital increase early next year, we think the business could unwind quickly. In this case we think recoveries on the bonds are likely to be low given the potential for the construction business working capital to unwind and burn cash, challenges winning new contracts and a potential discounts on its asset sales in a distressed scenario. We maintain our Underweight recommendation on Astaldi (2020 bonds 85.3pt, 13.2% YTW, 14-Nov 4pm). We think short term liquidity risks and execution risks on the capital increase, debt refinancing, working capital stabilization and assets disposals (€670m targeted in 4Q17-FY19) are high. Risks to our rating include successful capital increase and refinancing activity, EBITDA growth, working capital improvement, positive cash flow and asset disposals
