Symrise Reports Good 2016 Earnings; FVE Revised Up 5%

Narrow-moat Symrise, the flavours and fragrance ingredients manufacturer, reported good 2016 earnings with in-line sales. Organic sales growth was impressive at 7.9%, while the underlying EBITDA margin was 21.5%, easily meeting overly conservative guidance of "above 20%." We are raising our fair value estimate by 5% to EUR 78 based on an improved outlook for margins, coupled with a slightly lower tax rate. Our narrow moat rating remains unchanged.
Organic sales growth remains well ahead of peers...
