Corbion FIRST LOOK - CMD: € 55m savings program, holding on to PLA

A lot of info was released at the occasion of today's CMD, including better than expected 4Q23 results, a not so easy to read 2024 guidance (slightly less optimistic than our forecasts), a € 55m restructuring program (more than expected) and a strategic decision to hold onto PLA. We still appreciate Corbion for its leading position in lactic acid and consider valuation to be attractive. With balance sheet fears now largely over, we keep our Accumulate rating and € 26 TP.
