Top of the Street: Worldline, AB InBev, Kering, Getlink, European utilities
A round-up of notable broker activity this morning from Europe's top-ranked* analysts:
** Jefferies upgrades French payments group Worldline WLN.PA to "hold" from "underperform" saying it believes the market is already pricing in most of the downside, including the likely need for more restructuring
** Citi ups brewer Anheuser-Busch Inbev ABI.BR to "buy" from "neutral" saying tight cost control could help expand margins despite weaker Q3 volumes in the U.S., Mexico and China
** Goldman Sachs cuts Kering PRTP.PA to "sell" from "neutral" after recent share price rise, and says it is unlikely that China stimulus measures will positively impact high-end spending on the Gucci owner in the near term
** In a sector note, Barclays remains positive on European utilities after a recent share price rally and says the market is unjustly ignoring some European players' large U.S. exposure
** It raises Spanish power company Naturgy NTGY.MC to "equal weight" from "underweight", noting its high sensitivity to increases in combined-cycle gas turbines' (CCGT) load factor
** It cuts Spanish construction conglomerate Acciona ANA.MC to "underweight" from "equal weight" following a YTD rally, and to lessen the broker's exposure to cyclical activities
INITIATIONS AND REINSTATEMENTS
** Stifel initiates Channel tunnel operator Getlink GETP.PA with a "buy" rating and a PT of 19.50 euros, as it expects regulatory changes between Britain and the EU to drive growth and sees significant upside potential for the stock
