The group continues to deliver resilientupdates, but it faces many headwinds and limiting earnings progress. Management have beenfrank and open around these issues, and we acknowledge that the equity story continues tobe fundamentally about M&A, but this year is also likely to be slower on that front, given highleverage and the focus on integrating Resco. As such, while the stock trades at meaningfuldiscounts to the sector, we see few catalysts to drive re-rating.Please see important disclosure information on pages 6 - 11 of this report.This report is intended for Jefferies clients only.
