GTT fell sharply on Thursday morning on the Paris Bourse after Berenberg lowered its recommendation, deeming the stock well valued after its recent surge.

In a research note, the German intermediary points out that the share price has climbed almost 20% since last week's publication of better-than-expected 2023 annual results and 2024 outlook.

While the analyst believes that GTT remains a 'solid' investment to take advantage of the growing demand for LNG, he points to a 'more balanced' risk/reward profile at current levels, based on a 20x P/E for 2024.

As a result, it has reduced its recommendation from 'buy' to 'hold', with a price target adjusted from €140 to €150.

At around 10:20 a.m., the share price was down around 2%, one of the steepest declines on the SBF 120 index.
