Evonik Industries remains a fundamentally strong specialty chemicals company, now trading at attractive valuations despite recent earnings downgrades and market underperformance. EVKIY faces near-term headwinds, including weaker EBITDA guidance, persistent demand softness, and potential dividend risk, but maintains a BBB+ rating and manageable leverage. At current prices below €15/share, the risk/reward profile is compelling, with a conservative price target cut to €20/share and an ADR target of $11.50/share.
Evonik remains a 'Buy' for me, offering a solid 7%+ yield and BBB+ rating despite recent underperformance and macro headwinds. Short-term volatility and earnings declines are expected, but I see these as transitory, with long-term fundamentals and EU reshoring trends supporting recovery. Valuation is compelling: at current levels, EVKIY offers potential 15%+ annualized upside, with a fair value target of €22/share and significant peer appeal.

The company's reorganization and focus on renewables position it well for future growth, despite current macroeconomic volatility.

Evonik Industries AG (OTCPK:EVKIF) Q4 2024 Earnings Conference Call March 5, 2025 8:00 AM ET Company Participants Christian Kullmann - Chairman of the Executive Board Maike Schuh - Chief Financial Officer Conference Call Participants Andreas Heine - Stifel Chetan Udeshi - JPMorgan Sebastian Bray - Berenberg Martin Roediger - Kepler Cheuvreux Georgina Iwamoto - Goldman Sachs Christian Kullmann Thanks a lot, and welcome, ladies and gentlemen, to our full-year earnings call. We have four key messages that we want to bring across today.
Evonik's restructuring into growth and efficiency segments, with a focus on premiumization and defensive markets, has shown mixed results amid challenging industrial macro conditions. Despite a stable 3Q24 with improved EBITDA and cost savings, the company's forecasted growth has not fully materialized, leading to a conservative "Buy" rating. The company's high dividend yield, conservative credit rating, and potential for earnings reversal present an attractive investment opportunity, despite current volatility and ownership pressure.
