Unsurprisingly, Akzo reiterated its FY24 guidance of €1.5-1.65bn adj. EBITDA, which represents c.10% growth at midpoint. Mid term guidance of at least 16% adjusted EBITDA margin was also reiterated and represents a 260bps increase from 2023A with our and consensus a bit below (at respectively 15.5% and 15.7%).

In the run-up to the 2024 Summer Olympic Games and Euro 2024 football tournament, we have identified six stocks to favour: JCDecaux, Accor, Sodexo, adidas, Unibail-Rodamco-Westfield and easyJet. While these two major sporting events are not expected to have a significant impact on the host economies in the medium term, the microeconomic and sectoral impacts should be more marked. The tourism, transport, beverages and consumer goods sectors are expected to be the main winners. Some med...

>Solid volume progression - AkzoNobel posted a relatively good Q1 24 with a continuation of yoy improvements, driven by positive volumes (+2%), a neutral price/mix effect, and the feed through of normalising raw material prices.

As Spring approaches, we see industry-wide destocking coming to an end, emerging recovery trends in China gaining momentum and European spot energy cost relief rolling in, all helping to restore plant utilisation and earnings. We add more cyclicality to our preferred names, upgrading BASF to Outperform (Neutral). Momentum being regained in specialties chemicals distribution triggers our upgrade of IMCD to Outperform (Neutral). ‘From record to record’ remains our mantra at FUCHS. ...
>We are (slightly) more positive on volumes and pricing - Notwithstanding large FX-related headwinds, the combination of volume and pricing dynamics as well as declining raw material prices and cost reductions, resulted in a margin improvement for Akzo, with the group adj. EBITDA increasing to 13.0% (FY22 9.9%). FY24 adj. EBITDA is expected to be € 1.50-1.65bn and Akzo is aiming at >16% adj.

Below are the highlights from the conference call. 4Q adjusted EBITDA jumped by 42% which was however c. 2% below consensus (4% below KBCS), as the impact of higher gross margins and higher volumes was partly offset by hyperinflation accounting effects.

Mid term guidance of at least 16% adjusted EBITDA margin represents a 260bps from 2023A a...

Overall Q4 group revenues and adj. operating income came in at € 2,529m and € 221m respectively; revenues where in line with ccs estimates, while operatin...
