I upgraded Brenntag to a "Buy" due to strong fundamentals, a sound operating model, and significant upside potential despite recent price declines. Brenntag's valuation has improved, trading below 12.6x P/E with a 3.6% yield, making it an attractive investment with a conservative PT of €80/share. The company is executing on its Horizon 2 Strategy, optimizing its portfolio, and achieving significant cost savings, despite facing geopolitical and market pressures.
Brenntag, a leading chemical distribution company, has seen a 20% drop since my last "Hold" rating, despite its strong fundamentals and business model. The company's valuation has improved, now trading at below 14x P/E with a 3.27% yield, making it a compelling buy again. Despite recent declines in sales, EBITA, and EPS, Brenntag's strategic initiatives and M&A activities position it for future growth and resilience.
