Orion S.A.: The Clock Is Ticking (Rating Downgrade)

  • Orion S.A. remains a value play with shares trading at low multiples, but execution risk and cyclical headwinds persist. Management insists earnings are cyclically depressed, and new plants plus lower capex could drive significant upside if mid-cycle targets are achieved. Market skepticism is high due to missed guidance and concerns over competition in Europe, but free cash flow guidance remains intact for now.
