Verdict: Hold positions: valuation is reasonable (P/E 21.87) with positive momentum (score 6.7) and credible 2030 targets, but no immediate catalyst to overcome growth weakness.
Main risk: Declining revenue and earnings (-3.70% and -3.80%) may indicate market share loss or weak demand in the ingredients business, not offset by recent momentum.
