  HAMBURG (dpa-AFX Analyst) - Private bank Berenberg maintained its rating for Lanxess at "Hold" with a price target of €25 following a conference on food ingredients and chemicals organized by the private bank.

The first quarter provided little sign of a recovery in the overall economic environment, wrote analyst Geoff Haire in a report on European chemical stocks published Monday. Data and company commentary point to a decline in demand in the US in March, which is likely to have been partially offset by a recovery in China. German economic stimulus and the EU Clean Industrial Deal are longer-term positive aspects.

In addition to BASF, Udeshi also downgraded Arkema to "Underweight" and Victrex to "Neutral." He also recommends Lanxess, Brenntag, and DSM-Firmenich.

  ZURICH (dpa-AFX Analyst) - Swiss bank UBS has maintained its rating for Lanxess at "Neutral" with a price target of €30. Analyst Geoff Haire wrote in an industry report released Monday that 2025 will be more uncertain in the chemicals sector than 2024, which was characterized by a lack of inventory buildup by customers and the beginning of portfolio adjustments by companies. In 2025, the focus will once again be on the prospects for a recovery in demand, but investors should also pay attention to geopolitics – with the US-China relationship and the political environment in Germany and France. In a difficult environment, companies could respond with further cost reductions. Potential positive drivers include government stimulus measures in Germany, the resumption of Russian gas supplies to Europe, and the reconstruction of Ukraine. Overall, the expert prefers defensive subsectors within the industry: consumer chemicals and industrial gas suppliers./mis/bek

One of the most discussed topics in the European chemical industry is the question of what would happen if Russian gas flowed heavily to Europe again, wrote analyst Geoff Haire in an industry report published Monday. A ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine would reduce the risk premium, lead to increased exports, and thus to significantly lower gas prices.
