Arkema Delivers Second-Quarter Beat and Raises Guidance Again; Shares Fairly Valued
No-moat Arkema reported second-quarter EBITDA of EUR 478 million, up 67% versus 2020 and 21% ahead of the Visible Alpha consensus. Shares traded up 3% on the day. Given ongoing strong demand, Arkema raised guidance for the second time this year. The company now expects 30% growth in specialty materials EBITDA versus 20% previously. This should deliver around EUR 1.4 billion EBITDA for the group. We expect to raise our near-term estimates but don’t expect to make a material change to our EUR 95 fair value estimate. At current levels, the shares look fairly valued.
