Opinion on  SigmaAldrich Corp (SIAL)     Sector: Basic Materials  >  Industry: Chemical Manufacturing
Scale and pricing power

Mar 16, 2009 04:31 PM GMT
Return Risk
+34.08% LOW
Analyst

Excellent portfolio of over 100k products with about half proprietary. Though vulnerable to currency fluctuations (more than half revenue from non-US), able to maintain pricing power. Likely to play an acquisitive role and exploit current valuations to expand scale. Operational efficiency initiatives seem to be improving margins. Target is 50 in 12 months.


SIAL:  This call was made on 03/16/09 @ $34.78
