Muted activity in Q2 expected Price performance

Why this report?

Ahead of Q2 results due 30 July, we are trimming estimates and TP. The Ag

capex sentiment indicators in Europe are turning back to recession territory

again. This reflects major pressures on farmers and ranchers due to the

repercussions of the crisis in the Persian Gulf, i.e. rising fuel and fertiliser

costs and more adverse financial conditions. This is set to weigh on the

recovery and may delay or soften it. At the same time, the outlook for

Specials (small restructuring) and Emhart (downcycle hitting now) is muted.

Multiples may be appealing on an over-the-cycle perspective, and the

company has significant net cash, but at the same time, the recovery may

move into next year, so that investors again need more patience.
