Rating:63Neutral
Price Target:
170.00p
▲(3.66%Upside)
Elementis benefits from strong technical indicators and strategic corporate actions like share buybacks and business divestments. However, financial performance is mixed, with profitability concerns overshadowing positive cash flow. The valuation remains challenged by negative earnings, but strategic focus and market sentiment provide potential upside.
Positive Factors
Business Transformation
The sale of the Talc business will improve earnings quality and reduce a significant overhang for the equity story, which has hindered investor interest.
Financial Performance
Elementis is guiding FY24F EBITA to be above the top-end of consensus estimates, indicating strong financial performance.
Leadership
The appointment of Luc van Ravenstein as CEO is seen as positive news.
Negative Factors
Demand Uncertainty
Forecasts remain below consensus due to a more conservative view on demand.
Strategic Review
There is a notable lack of real update on the Talc strategic review or announcements around a new CEO or a buyback.
