IBU-tec advanced materials AG: Warburg Research starts coverage of IBU-tec with recommendation to buy the share - price target at EUR 21.30

Weimar, 10 December 2018 - Warburg Research has started to cover IBU-tec advanced materials AG ("IBU-tec", ISIN: DE000A0XYHT5) with a buy recommendation. The price target is EUR 21.30 - based on a DCF valuation model that takes into account the recent acquisition of the wet chemical specialist BNT Chemicals.

The current research report highlights battery materials as growth drivers and forecasts that demand in this area will remain high. IBU-tec's new site in the Chemiepark Bitterfeld was also viewed positively - particularly as a result of the expansion to the production capacity and the range of production to handle a larger variety of new compounds and the possibility of higher-volume production for customers. Warburg also refers to the expansion of the product portfolio and synergy potential from the acquisition of BNT Chemicals.

The research report of Warburg Research, a subsidiary of M.M.Warburg & CO, is available in the Investor Relations section of IBU-tec's website under https://www.ibu-tec.com/investor-relations/financial-reports/reports-from-external-analysts/.
