Jefferies has reaffirmed its 'buy' recommendation on Henkel, with its price target raised from 83 to 86 euros, anticipating volume growth in the consumer business of +1% in 2024, compared with a target of around -1%.

"The gradual improvement in consumer volume growth remains the key indicator", believes the broker, who sees this rising from -2.6% in the last quarter of 2023 to -2% in the first quarter of 2024, a figure above its previous estimates.

Volumes in adhesives will probably experience one less day of activity (no impact on consumer goods), but should demonstrate their relative non-cyclicality", adds Jefferies in its note on the German consumer goods group.
