Fair Value: 10.0€ – – – – – – Rating: Neutral
Write-off in Sugar leads to suspension of dividend
With a EUR450m-550m impairment loss Südzucker reacts on the deteriorated situation in the sugar market. Still, this alone does not solve the issue and further measures might be needed to improve the situation. While the write-off in itself has no impact on our valuation, we account for a lower earnings visibility by raising our beta factor. This leads to a slight decrease in our fair value which leaves only a limited upside for the current share price. We reiterate our Neutral rating.
