Clariant seen rising after Berenberg starts coverage with 'buy'
** Shares in Clariant CLN.S are seen up 1.4% in Julius Baer premarket indications after Berenberg initiates the Swiss speciality chemicals firm with "buy", saying it sees "a clearer path to higher margins"
** The broker says it believes macro headwinds have masked the progress Clariant has made through portfolio and cost measures over the last few years
** It predicts 3% organic sales growth over the next three years and 4-6% in the mid-term for Clariant, helped by its acquisition of Lucas Meyer Cosmetics, the start-up of several Chinese plants, and a revenue opportunity in green catalysts of about CHF 50 mln ($55.3 mln) annually
** It sees margin expansion as imminent, given value-based pricing, divestments of low-margin businesses, and the discontinuation of the firm's bioethanol facility Sunliquid
** "Supported by improving demand, Clariant is now moving toward the type of business that convinced SABIC to pay a rumoured CHF34/share in 2018," it says
** It sets its PT for the stock at CHF 16.80, 15% above Clariant's closing price on Monday
($1 = 0.9038 Swiss francs)
