IMCD Lower 2024 estimates, 1H24 preview and comparison with Azelis

Given the weaker outlook we adjust our numbers for IMCD. Organic revenue forecasts decrease for FY24 from previously 2.3% growth y/y, to a contraction of 1.4% y/y. Our EBITA margin forecast for 2024 decreases from previously 11.8% to 11.0%. This due to the lower organic revenue growth, a very modest reduction in the gross profit margin and an increase in OpEx. Nevertheless, our DCF based valuation of € 140 per share remains intact, as the impact is only over the short term. We maintain our Hold rating.
