Syensqo: share price down, volumes expected to remain stable in 2025

(CercleFinance.com) - Syensqo lost ground on the Brussels stock exchange on Thursday, after declaring that it expects its sales volumes and operating profit to remain stable this year.


The specialty chemicals group explains that it expects the current economic uncertainty weighing on demand to persist in most of its markets, leading it to anticipate stable volumes in 2025.

In order to improve its profitability in 2025 and beyond, Syensqo plans to accelerate its cost reductions, which should enable it to offset the impact of inflation on its costs.

For the full year 2025, the company says it is targeting an underlying Ebitda of at least 1.4 billion euros, a figure in line with the operating profit achieved last year.

Its free cash flow - which reached 390 million euros in 2024 - is expected to be around 400 million euros this year.

Syensqo also stated that it was considering a dual listing on the New York Stock Exchange, in addition to Euronext Brussels, in order to improve its visibility and liquidity with American investors.

The company points out that the Americas is currently its main region of activity, accounting for over 40% of its sales and workforce.

The share price fell by nearly 8% in the wake of these announcements, posting one of the biggest declines on the STOXX Europe 600 index.
