Novozymes (Sell, TP: DKK250.00) -
Another 2019 guidance cut Novozymes has again cut its organic growth guidance for 2019 from 1–3% to -2–0% and the EBIT margin from 28–29% to 27–28%. The reduction was in line with our expectations, although the revisions were slightly larger – especially on net profit growth, which was cut from 3–8% to -5–0%. We have lowered our estimates and target price to DKK250 (260), and reiterate our SELL. We expect consensus changes of c-4% and the shares to trade down 5%+ today on the higher uncertainty.Novozymes is a biotechnology company based in Denmark.
