Solvay Model update following 3Q results

We updated our earnings model after Solvay reported slightly better than expected 3Q23 underlying EBITDA whilst lowering the FY23 guidance to the lower end of a € 2.9-3.1bn range. Changes for FY23 are limited whilst we did lower our FY24/5 forecasts by c. 3% on the announced phasing out impact of the thermal insulation and third party energy supplies businesses of € 90-100m. Ilham Kadri will lead Syensqo while Philippe Kehren will lead the future Solvay. We maintain our BUY rating and €155 TP as we still believe the upcoming separation will be an important catalyst to unlock shareholder value and we consider valuation to be very attractive.
