LBBW raises the target price of the W&W share to 21 euros, ongoing recommendation to buy

Montega: "Current price pullback unfounded"

Boerse Online: "W&W share is a SDAX dividend-star"

Following publication of the annual report on 31 December 2015 and yesterday's telephone conference of analysts, the LBBW has updated its analyst assessment of the W&W share.

After the earnings contributions increased for all sectors in the fourth quarter of 2015, the LBBW rates the quality of the results as high.

"The forecast from W&W for net income in the overall year 2016 is 'at least 220 million euros', which we believe is a conservative estimate (LBBWe: 238 million euros)".

The LBBW believes the W&W share is priced reasonably and confirms its recommendation to buy the security. It is raising its target price from 20 euros to 21 euros.

Also the analyst of Montega is convinced that the current price pullback is unfounded. He expects overall good new business. "The new generation of home savings contracts have high market acceptance."

At Boerse Online the announced rise of W&W's dividend stands in the focus - "The rise is bigger than we expected." In the current issue of Boerse Online W&W share is a SDAX dividend-star.
