Solvay Feedback conference call
Below are the key highlights from the conference call. Solvay's 1Q25 uEBITDA dropped 15% to € 230m, in line with the recent profit warning. Solvay reiterated the (recently cut) FY25 underlying EBITDA guidance of € 880-930m (c. -12% at midpoint vs the previous € 1.0-1.05bn range), citing continued soft demand in a context of tariff and geopolitical uncertainty. Solvay had already stated to maintain FCF guidance of c. € 300m (on the back of more prudent capex spending) which however still means that almost all FCF is absorbed to pay the high and committed dividend of € 2.43 per share. On the attractive valuation and dividend yield (of c. 8%), we maintain our Accumulate rating and € 36 target price.Solvay is engaged in chemical and plastic businesses worldwide.
