BASF Shares Plummet Amid Analyst Concerns, Despite Operational Wins
BASF shares have seen a sudden drop, largely due to negative analyst ratings and concerns about the company's fundamentals. Despite recent operational successes, analysts remain cautious.
BASF's stock has been heavily sold, with an RSI of 26.0, indicating it may be oversold. This is largely attributed to analysts' negative ratings. Berenberg downgraded the stock to 'Sell', while Warburg Research lowered its price target. They cited weak demand, margin pressure, and dependence on the Chinese market as key concerns.
BASF has recently expanded its sustainable polyamide portfolio in North America and received approval for the new fungicide ZorinaTM in the US. However, these operational successes have not allayed analysts' concerns. Warburg Research still sees a difficult economic environment for the company. BASF's upcoming quarterly figures on October 22 will be crucial in assessing its ability to navigate these challenges.
