(News Bulletin 247) – Bernstein on Tuesday downgraded his opinion on Danone shares, reduced from ‘performance in line with the market’ to ‘underperformance’ with a price target lowered from 55 to 50 euros.

In a broad study of Europe’s food and consumer goods sectors, analysts say Danone, like Henkel, Reckitt and Unilever, are among the market players today ‘least well positioned for future success’ ‘.

‘We are well aware that many investors appreciate the recovery operated by Danone because of the good choices which seem to be made by the general manager’, underlines the research department.

‘We share this point of view, but we do not yet have any proof that this strategy is working and that it will significantly improve future growth, brand strength and price control’ , concludes Bernstein.
