The economy is booming and everyone should enjoy it. The American economy is benefitting from tremendous amounts of pent-up demand and in some of the hardest-hit industries' activity is beginning to tick back up above 2019 levels. Along with that boom, there are clear signs of inflation and concerns about overheating. Even Janet Yellen seemed concerned for a few hours last week.

<a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/elementis-plc" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:21916:1" rel="noopener">Elementis PLC (ELM LN)</a> has rejected three approaches from <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/minerals-technologies-inc" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:6088:1" rel="noopener">Minerals Technologies (MTX US)</a>, at 107p, 117p and 130p (10.3x EV/Fwd EBITDA and 20.3x P/Fwd EPS, Capital IQ consensus).
<ul>
<li>All were unanimously <a href="https://www.elementis.com/sites/default/files/2020-12/201206%20Rejection%20of%20Minerals%20Technologies%27%20proposal.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">rejected by the Board of Elementis</a>, which said that even the last proposal was highly opportunistic, coming at a low point of earnings and value, and significantly undervalues Elementis and its future prospects (it has a point). It is signaling that a bid could be considered at c. 200p.</li>
<li>On 6 December, Minerals Technologies cancelled the acquisition of Elementis.</li>
<li>On 8 December, shareholder J.O. Hambro (4.25% stake) told Elementis to engage with Minerals Technologies to seek an improved bid.</li>
</ul>
Elementis trades at a 20% discount to Diversifieds' peers. Coronavirus pandemic second wave restrictions cloud the outlook, as the Board says, especially for Personal Care and Talc. Nevertheless Elementis is on only a recovered NTM PE of 20.3x for 2021e and trading below Diversifieds' median PE of 25x. This appears low, in spite of higher financial leverage (7.9x total debt/EBITDA which results in a 5-year beta of 2.28 vs. 0.96 median of peers), given lower price cyclicality.
<div>
Valuation is 169p per share (average of NTM EBITDA median implied equity value and NTM P/E), a 30% upside to Minerals Technologies last offer.
<ul>
<li>The last approach by Minerals Technologies (130p) should act as support for the share price of Elementis in the short term.</li>
<li>
Capital IQ complied consensus has a median target price of 142p, also above Minerals Technologies offer.</li>
</ul>
</div>
Recommendation is LONG Elementis, TP 169p.
