12th Annual Industrials Conference

1 October 2020

 

Davy hosted its 12th Annual Industrials Conference, featuring the key names in the European buildings materials sector.

 

These included CRH, LafargeHolcim, HeidelbergCement, Cemex, Kingspan, Saint-Gobain, Buzzi Unicem and Breedon.

Key take-outs for us were:

  1.  continued good trading in Q3, driven by self-help and the positive price-cost spread;
  2. the resilience of pricing across all regions but especially in Europe and the US;
  3. a greater emphasis on portfolio optimisation and financial discipline when it comes to M&A; and
  4. a clear acceleration in sustainable investment and product innovation. While the sector appears to have weathered the storm and H2 looks promising, visibility remains low and commentary on 2021 was guarded.
