SOLVAY: Cash (flow) is king SOLB BB

Steady progress with the roll-out of profit improvement initiatives, possible upside to the € 410m savings target and a clear acceleration in free cash flow generation in 2020 are a solid testimony to the building track record of Solvay’s still relatively new CEO, Ms Kadri. We appreciate Solvay for the combination of solid leadership positions, significant self-help potential and discounted valuation with one of the highest dividend yields in the European chemical industry. Accumulate, € 110 TP.
