WOOD maintains the recommendation of “BUY” for the share of Mytilineos, repeating the target price of 21 euros.

A price, which, according to a report by the finance firm is 35% above current stock levels.

WOOD analysts maintain their forecast for further profit growth in 2022, expecting a boost in profitability by 44% compared to 2021, and specifically to 517 million euros.

2. The favorable environment for Aluminum

3. The performance of Power & Gas

4. The new power plant that in addition to doubling electricity production, will further improve the efficiency of the company’s fleet.

5. The strengthening of the Renewable Sources & Energy Storage sector, which now has 2GW of mature projects and other 3GW projects at an early stage of development, increasing the total power of the company’s RSD BOT portfolio to 5GW.
