Alstom forced into massive fundraising to survive? : stock market advice

Alstom is struggling on the Paris Stock Exchange. In the space of three months, the share price of the Franco-Canadian railway giant has halved. And it was even divided by three in the space of three years! In question, the shock of quarterly accounts (published at the beginning of October) came out much worse than expected (with a warning on cash generation, which will be much lower than expected). Very disappointing accounts to say the least, which increased the risk of a massive capital increase, in order to keep Alstom in the “investment” category of the rating agencies (i.e. maintain a good repayment capacity of debt and maintain an acceptable financial situation).

Alstom is inexpensive on the stock market but its debt worries

Faced with a particularly heavy net debt (it could represent almost three years of operating margin before depreciation, next year, according to the consensus of financial analysts), Alstom is forced to take “drastic” measures, notes eToro, which argues that the very heavy weight of net financial debt is weighing down the solvency and liquidity of Alstom, affected this year by a “strongly negative cash flow in 2023”.

While the objective of an operating margin of 8-10% in the medium term seems difficult to achieve, to say the least, according to Stifel, the broker continues to advise holding the stock, with the target maintained at 22 euros (fair price estimated value), i.e. a significant potential for theoretical appreciation up to the price objective. Swiss Life Gestion Privée and Oddo BHF also consider Alstom shares to be inexpensive. However, in the immediate future, equity investors are mainly focused on the risks relating to the rescue plan…

Alstom’s plunge on the stock market was correctly anticipated by Momentum, Capital’s investment letter

Momentum, Capital’s premium investment letter on the stock market, had perfectly anticipated this summer the plunge in Alstom’s stock price in recent months. Since our bearish anticipation of September 5 (when Alstom shares were still trading at 24.63 euros), the stock price has fallen by almost half. Our readers were thus able to sell the stock before the collapse. And the most aggressive have even made a lot of money by initiating bets on the fall in Alstom’s stock price.
