Citi upgrades Johnson Matthey to 'buy' with £28.50 target, citing strong EPS growth and strategic reshaping.

Citi has renewed its coverage of Johnson Matthey PLC with a 'buy' rating and set a target price of £28.50. The bank forecasts a 40% rise in adjusted earnings per share (EPS) for the 2027 financial year, driven by a 16% increase in EBIT and a 21% compound annual growth rate in EPS over five years supported by share buybacks. Strategic moves like selling Catalyst Technologies and acquiring Cormetech have refocused the company on Clean Air emissions catalysts and platinum group metals services, simplifying operations and enhancing growth prospects. Citi also highlights stable vehicle catalyst production and evolving EU regulations as factors supporting durable cash flow and potential upside.

Johnson Matthey's renewed coverage by Citi with a 'buy' rating and £28.50 target price provides context for readers.
