(News Bulletin 247) – Stifel raises its recommendation on Covestro directly from ‘sell’ to ‘buy’, with a price target raised from 34 to 66 euros, recognizing the materials chemistry group as ‘attractive as a target of’ acquisition’.

The broker clarified that its mid-cycle EBITDA assumption ‘takes into account headwinds related to higher energy costs in Europe and unfavorable supply-demand dynamics’.

‘We are refining our estimates without significant adjustments and remain cautious about the evolution of the underlying results’, specifies Stifel in the summary of its note on the German group.
