A court in Switzerland will decide on Wednesday whether to hear a legal complaint against Swiss giant Holcim , one of the world's biggest cement makers, that alleges the company is doing too little to cut carbon emissions and so contributing to global warming.

Holcim's spin-off of Amrize creates two distinct investment options: global sustainability focus (Holcim) and North American exposure (Amrize). Holcim's fundamentals remain strong, with solid growth in Europe and emerging markets, but valuation is stretched above historical norms. Current share prices for both Holcim and Amrize offer limited upside; I recommend a 'Hold' rating until valuations become more attractive.
