Solvay - Resilience and return of volume growth

•    Q1-24 EBITDA was more than 10% above our and consensus estimates, supported by the return of positive volume growth. •    This confirms our view that Solvay is resilient, also due to its strong cost and capex discipline.•    Valuation multiples remain very attractive for a 20% ROCE business. We stick our Buy and TP of EUR 36, based on our 2025E SOTP.
