Vesuvius (VSVS – Research Report), the Basic Materials sector company, was revisited by a Wall Street analyst today. Analyst Andrew Douglas from Jefferies maintained a Buy rating on the stock and has a p530.00 price target.
Andrew Douglas has given his Buy rating due to a combination of factors that reflect both caution and optimism. Vesuvius’s preliminary results for the fiscal year 2024 exceeded expectations, and while management’s guidance for fiscal year 2025 incorporates a degree of conservatism due to mixed market conditions and potential impacts from U.S. tariffs, there remains significant recovery potential.
The company’s financial health is underscored by a robust balance sheet, which provides strategic flexibility. Despite the cautious outlook, the potential for market recovery and internal improvements present an attractive opportunity for investors. Consequently, the Buy rating is maintained with a new price target set at 530 pence.
