SGS drops as RBC downgrades stock to 'underperform'
Corrects brokerage to RBC, not Jefferies, in headline and bullets 1-2
** Shares in SGS SGSN.S fall 2.6% after RBCdowngrades it to "underperform" from "sector perform", saying the Swiss testing and inspection company trades at an extended P/E premium to peers and the sub-sector's longer-term average
** RBCsees macro and geopolitical risks across many testing and inspection companies' (TIC) key markets, which could jeopardise a "Goldilocks" scenario baked into current consensus
** "With M&A optionality across the industry tough to call and restructuring charges par for the course, we see risks to SGS forecasts and its premium valuation multiple," the broker writes
** It prefers TIC industry peers and other defensive growth names in the business services sector, and says SGS offers unappealing risk/reward compared to peers in the next 12 months
** Out of 21 analysts that cover SGS, six rate the stock "strong buy" or "buy", 12 "hold" and three "strong sell" or "sell"
