On Friday, RBC Capital adjusted its price target on Henkel AG (OTC:HENKY) & Co KGaA (HEN3:GR) (OTC: HENOY) shares, increasing it to €82 from the previous €74, while the Sector Perform rating remains unchanged. The adjustment follows the company's pre-announcement of its first-half results, which highlighted significant EBIT margin growth.
The firm noted the positive impact of the integration of Henkel's consumer businesses, which is beginning to show through improved earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) margins. This development has been a key driver for the new price target set by the firm.
Henkel's recent financial performance indicates a robust uptrend in profitability, particularly within its consumer segment. The firm's decision to maintain the Sector Perform rating suggests that while the stock's performance is in line with the overall market expectations, the recent developments have been favorable enough to warrant a higher price target.
The updated price target of €82 represents RBC Capital's valuation based on an Adjusted Present Value (APV) method. This valuation technique considers the potential of the company's operational efficiency and the positive outcomes from its strategic initiatives.
