Akzo Nobel FIRST LOOK: 2Q adj EBITDA -2%, FY EBITDA guidance lowered by c. 5%
2Q adjusted EBITDA dropped by 2% y/y and came in about 2% below our and consensus forecasts. Akzo lowered FY25 adj EBITDA guidance by c. 5% (from ‘above € 1.55bn' to ‘above € 1.48bn'), attributing the reduction to FX changes. The new guidance calls for an adj EBITDA that would be at least flat, with performance supported by € 170m targeted gross savings. Taking into account the volatile track record and low structural growth, we maintain our Hold rating and € 65 target price.Akzo Nobel N.V. is a holding company.
