Investing.com - Kepler Cheuvreux upgraded Avantium N.V (AS:AVTX) stock rating from Reduce to Hold while raising its price target to EUR13.50 from EUR10.00.
The research firm described the investment case for the sustainable chemistry company as "high-risk but not necessarily high return," according to its latest analyst note.
Kepler Cheuvreux expressed skepticism about Avantium’s near-term prospects for securing attractive licensing deals, citing several factors including the need for the company’s FDCA plant to demonstrate production capabilities at appropriate quality and cost levels.
The firm also questioned the financial viability of FDCA/PEF becoming profitable within the next 3-5 years based on its assumptions for operational expenses, capital expenditures, and selling prices.
Kepler Cheuvreux further noted a perceived low appetite for major capital expenditure investments in sustainability projects with uncertain outcomes, while pointing out that PET recycling is gaining wider adoption and support from the EU’s PPWR directive.
