Solvay shares pared early gains Monday after an increase in 2022
guidance initially lifted shares.
At 0833 GMT, shares in the Belgian chemical company traded 0.9%
higher at EUR 90.02, after gaining more than 4.5% after the company
again lifted guidance for earnings before interest, taxes,
depreciation and amortization.
It now sees full-year Ebitda growth of around 28%, compared to
its guidance of 14% to 18%, which it raised in July. Monday's
increase is the third upgrade to the metric this year.
The new full-year guidance takes into account the company's
performance so far and that of fourth-quarter orders, which
indicate some level of weakening, Solvay said.
Boosted by demand and pricing across the whole of the business,
third-quarter net sales are expected around 3.6 billion euros
($3.55 billion) and underlying Ebitda around EUR900 million, Solvay
said.
The forecast exceeds analysts' consensus which estimated
third-quarter Ebitda at EUR764 million. The new guidance implies a
full-year Ebitda result of EUR3.17 billion, exceeding analysts'
estimates of EUR2.87 billion, Jefferies analysts said in a research
note.
