Update: Stevia delayed

The key headline that the launch of the stevia EverSweet product has been delayed is disappointing, but the investment case still stands. A short-term catalyst has been removed and the delay has implications for the valuation, but the long-term business case is unchanged. The changes in our assumptions lead to a reduction in fair value from CHF1.87/share to CHF1.14/share.
