Fubotv earnings beat by $0.10, revenue topped estimates
Investing.com - Jefferies has upgraded Evonik Industries AG (ETR:EVKn) (ETR:EVK) (OTC:EVKIF) from Underperform to Hold, while lowering its price target to EUR17.50 from EUR18.80.
The upgrade comes despite Jefferies cutting its EBITDA estimates by approximately 5% following Evonik’s half-year results, with fiscal year 2025 forecasts now 2% below the low end of the company’s guidance range.
Jefferies cited valuation grounds for the rating change, noting Evonik now trades at a 20% EV/EBITDA discount compared to its historical 15% discount.
The research firm observed that Evonik continues to struggle in a weak demand and pricing environment, similar to other diversified chemical companies.
Jefferies’ forecast for Evonik remains high single digits below consensus estimates, with the firm expressing a preference for Syensqo among diversified chemical stocks.
