K+S Stock Plunges but Is It Time to Sell? Here's the Real Deal!
The shares of the K+S stock have taken a beating over the past few years, with a dizzying 68% plunge from its peak in 2022. The stock continues to trend downwards, and this week started with another significant sell-off. The trigger? An analyst report, you ask? Let's dive in!
Analyst Says Sell - Stock Crashes Away
Analyst Tristan Lamotte has caused a stir with his bearish stance on the K+S stock. With a downgrade of the rating from "Hold" to "Sell" by Deutsche Bank, the market observer also slashed the price target from 9.75 euros to 9.50 euros. This translates to a potential downside of 15% compared to the closing price on Friday.
In his analysis, Lamotte highlighted the high risk of a price normalization on the potash market and the stock's overvaluation with minimal cash flow expectations until 2027.
