GBF: Long Term Assumptions And Dividend Outlook Will Support A More Confident Future
Analysts have raised their price target on Bilfinger by €10 to reflect updated assumptions around discount rates, long term growth and earnings multiples, while keeping the fair value estimate unchanged at €122.5. Analyst Commentary Bullish Takeaways Bullish analysts view the €10 price target uplift as a reflection of greater confidence in Bilfinger’s ability to support current assumptions on long term growth, without requiring a higher fair value than €122.5.
