Akzo Nobel FIRST LOOK: 1Q adj EBITDA -2%, FY guidance of € 1.55bn EBITDA kept

Akzo's 1Q adjusted EBITDA decreased by 2% and came in c. 3% below our forecast and c. 3% above consensus. FY25 adj EBITDA guidance of above €1555m is maintained and calls for at least 5% growth, whilst most of the predicted growth comes from self help measures. Taking into account the volatile track record and low structural growth, we maintain our Hold rating and € 65 TP.
