Akzo’s figures do not convince us or the consensus providing the analysts’ community. The figures show again Akzo’s vulnerability to higher raw material prices and the inability to manage organic growth (volumes vs. sales prices), which might stem from the asset distribution. However, the released material looks more like a wish list than a report and the expectations regarding the positive effects from price increases are more mid-term and not short term.
