Akzo Nobel - Guidance range for 2024 meets expectations

•    Q4-23 slightly missed on EBIT, but primarily due to the impact of hyperinflation accounting. The new FY24 EBITDA guidance range meets our and consensus expectations. •    The new mid-term targets for 2027E (e.g. EBITDA margin >16%) are a bit more ambitious than what we currently have penciled in. •    We do not expect to materially change our estimates. We stick to Hold and raise our TP from EUR 70 to EUR 76 by rolling forward to our 2025E estimates (was 2024E) with the same target EV/REBIT of 13x.
