Resumo(s)
This thesis provides a comprehensive analysis of AMAG Austria Metall AG, a company in the Austrian aluminum
industry, renowned for its high-quality aluminum products in sectors like automotive, aerospace, and packaging.
Established in 1939 and publicly traded since 2011, AMAG has a strong global presence, with significant operations
in Western Europe, North America, and other regions. The study delves into AMAG’s strategic focus on niche market
specialization, quality innovation, and bulk production abilities, which position is well in a competitive industry
landscape increasingly influenced by sustainability, recycling, and technological advancements. The thesis examines
AMAG’s financial performance, highlighting its robust growth trajectory and the impact of external factors like the
Covid-19 pandemic and in recent years geopolitical tensions. It offers a detailed financial analysis, including an
assessment of revenues, cost of goods sold (COGS), selling, general and administrative expenses (SG&A), and
capital expenditures. The revenue forecast is constructed using a bottom-up methodology, considering key drivers
like product sales volume and pricing trends. Furthermore, the thesis provides a SWOT analysis, identifying AMAG’s
operational strengths, diverse product range, and challenges such as market volatility and supply chain
dependencies. A critical evaluation of AMAG's capital structure and dividend strategy is presented, noting its high
debt-to-equity ratio and conservative dividend approach. For valuation, the Discounted Cash Flow method is
employed, supplemented by a comparative company analysis and Dividend Discount Model. The valuation process
involves forecasting free cash flows and applying the WACC to determine AMAG’s intrinsic value. The study
concludes with a recommendation to buy AMAG stock, citing its potential for future growth and resilience in a dynamic
industry environment.
