The Price Doesn’t Match the Potential

If you’re looking for capital appreciation, Goldman Sachs has you covered.

The investment firm recently released 3 “attractive” value stocks it feels could see at least 50% share price appreciation over the next 12 months. All three are European companies.

According to Goldman, each of these stocks feature cheap valuations in comparison to their earnings growth potential. So much so that the firm feels it puts them head-and-shoulders above other European stocks in terms of value.

Flying Under the Radar

The companies include International Consolidated Airlines Group (ICAGY), CNH Industrial (CNHI), and Philips (PHG).

International Consolidated Airlines Group is the parent company of British Airways. Patrick Creuset, Goldman’s airline analyst, listed the stock as a “buy” in January after the price did not rise following increased earnings estimates. Cruset believes the stock has a 64% upside from the current price.

The stock is down 2.16% YTD despite a strong rally in late January.

Don’t Sleep On These Stocks Either

Philips, a Dutch conglomerate, could see its price rise as much as 51% over the next 12 months, per Goldman. The firm believes it has “robust margin progression” in store for 2024. These margin improvements will come on the backs of cheaper manufacturing costs and softer pricing pressure. The company is also looking to expand AI technology throughout its healthcare arm.

Goldman also has CNH rated as a “buy” with shares expected to hit $19, a 57% increase. Analysts are confident that the stock was oversold due to investor fears surrounding the agriculture equipment market. The investment bank is confident the company can improve margins through cost cutting.

If Goldman is right, investors looking for undervalued companies may find exactly what they’re looking for across the pond this year.
