BUZZ — RBC starts SPIE at 'sector perform', sees more upside in other names

* RBC initiates coverage of SPIE with a "sector perform" rating and a PT of €45 * The broker says the French technical services group which installs and maintains electrical, mechanical and building systems, benefits from defensive markets and strong recurring revenue * SPIE is exposed to structural growth in power grids, data centres and renewables, and its fragmented markets offer a sizeable acquisition opportunity, RBC says * But the broker sees better value in other stocks in the sector, naming Elis, Securitas and Serco * Organic growth, excluding acquisitions and currency effects, has historically been choppy and has stayed below 2% over the past 18 months, the broker notes * The broker and the market expect organic growth to pick up to about 3.5% in Q3, with results due on October 30 (Reporting by Nathan Vifflin in Gdansk) ((nathan.vifflin@thomsonreuters.com; gdansk.newsroom@thomsonreuters.com; +48 58 769 67 13;)
