Narrow-Moat Sensient Technologies Reports Flat 2Q Profits; Margin Expansion Will Prove Challenging

We are maintaining our $76 per share fair value estimate for narrow-moat Sensient Technologies after the company's second-quarter earnings release. With profits coming in a bit lower than we anticipated, we modestly reduced our near-term profit outlook. Additionally, driven largely by currency effects, management reduced its 2018 adjusted earnings guidance to a range of $3.60-$3.70 per share, down from $3.70-$3.80. Our updated forecast of $3.61 per share sits on the low end of this range.
