Akzo Nobel FIRST LOOK: 2Q adj EBITDA -2%, FY EBITDA guidance lowered b...

2Q adjusted EBITDA dropped by 2% y/y and came in about 2% below our and consensus forecasts. Akzo lowered FY25 adj EBITDA guidance by c. 5% (from ‘above € 1.55bn' to ‘above € 1.48bn'), attributing the reduction to FX changes. The new guidance calls for an adj EBITDA that would be at least flat, with performance supported by € 170m targeted gross savings. Taking into account the volatile track record and low structural growth, we maintain our Hold rating and € 65 target price.

AkzoNobel/2Q25 preview and model update/HOLD

We update our model to reflect recent FX trends and a more cautious view on volumes. We trim our Adj. EBITDA estimates by c.3.5% yet increase our target price to €65 per share from €62, reflecting a higher multiple due to a re-rating of key peer PPG and an improved risk profile following the accretive divestment of AkzoNobel India.

Akzo Nobel Sale of 75% Akzo Nobel India stake leads to € 900m net cash...

Unsurprising and in line with earlier announced strategic guidelines, Akzo Nobel announced to have signed an agreement to divest its 75% stake in Akzo Nobel India for net cash proceeds of c. € 900m, with the overall deal valuation roughly in line with current stock market valuation. The EV/EBITDA of the transaction is a very healthy 22x multiple. Akzo will use the proceeds to partly deleverage (€ 500m) while it intends to launch a €400m share buyback program after closing. We expect Akzo to cont...
