Stifel Nicolaus analyst Isha Sharma has maintained their bullish stance on 0LCR stock, giving a Buy rating today.
Isha Sharma’s rating is based on several key factors that highlight Fuchs Petrolub’s potential for growth and stability. The company has projected a revenue of €3.7 billion for 2025, aligning with market expectations, and an EBIT of approximately €460 million, which represents a 6% year-over-year increase. This indicates a steady EBIT margin of 12.4%, suggesting operational efficiency despite challenging market conditions.
Additionally, Fuchs Petrolub’s free cash flow (FCF) guidance for 2025, although lower than the previous year due to increased capital expenditures and net working capital build-up, remains robust at €260 million. The company’s strategic cost management efforts are expected to counterbalance inflationary pressures and digitalization costs, further supporting its financial health. The proposed dividend increase, backed by solid FCF, also reflects confidence in the company’s cash generation capabilities. These factors collectively contribute to the Buy rating, indicating optimism about Fuchs Petrolub’s future performance.
In another report released today, Warburg Research also maintained a Buy rating on the stock with a €50.00 price target.
