UBS initiates coverage on Solazyme (NASDAQ: SZYM) with a Buy. PT $16.00.
Analyst, Mahavir Sanghavi, said, "Solazyme uses algae fermentation to convert carbohydrates (sugar) into high value oils many of which can not be made naturally. Solazyme has demonstrated its product performance on a commercial scale and we estimate it can address the unsubsidized plant-based oil market ($200B) at a 30%+ margin sustainably."
"...We expect long term offtake contracts with key customers such as Unilever (NYSE: UL), Dow (NYSE: DOW) and Chevron (NYSE: CVX) to materialize as the
capacity plans firm up."
