Context and risks
Chemical company with exposure to energy and raw material costs; the sharp rise in crude oil and ECB rate hikes pressure margins and long-duration valuation. However, exposure is indirect and partial, so the adjustment is moderate.

Verdict: Hold positions; wait for revenue growth to stabilize and raw material costs to moderate before increasing exposure.
Main risk: The combination of high debt (ND/EBITDA 2.93x) with rising ECB rates and increasing energy costs could further compress operating margins (currently 10.78%) in a declining revenue environment.
