August 2016: assisted recovery

The average weighted PER ratio is 18,2x (up 11.8% from end-2015)

The value of the 60 Spanish companies listed on the stock market stood at 536.499 billion euros at end-July 2016, down 9.0% from end-2015, Patrivalor says.

The average weighted target price of these stocks is 20,9€ (an increase of 13.6% so far this year), while the average weighted share price is 18,8€ (up 16.6%).  So the average weighted discount between the share price and the target price is 10.3%.

The average weighted PER ratio is 18,2x (up 11.8% from end-2015), Patrivalor notes.

The average recommendation is 2,76 points, which implies a slight bias on the buy side compared with end-2015. (Between 1 and 2 points implies a “definite buy” and between 3.5 and 5 points a “definite sell”).

There are currently 19 stocks with a buy recommendation (between 1 and 2 points), compared with 22 at end-2015. These are: Inditex, Amadeus, IAG, Viscofan, Melia Hotels, Faes, Pharma Mar, Acerinox, Ence, Tubacex, Acciona, Merlin Properties, Inmobiliaria Colonial, Iberdrola, Red Eléctrica, Enagas, Solaria, Catalana Occidente and Bolsas y Mercados.

There are 10 stocks with a sell recommendation (between 3.5 and 5 points) compared with 15 at end-2015. These are: Prisa, Arcelor, Zardoya, Elecnor, Cementos Portland, Uralita/Coemac, Abengoa, OHL, Banco Sabadell and Banco Popular.
