"Based on the potential merger of equals between Dow Chemical and DuPont we are raising our price targets to $65/shr for Dow and $85/shr for DuPont, upside of 14% for each company. Our revised price targets assume i) a combined Dow/DuPont entity realizes $1.5B in operational improvements and additional cost savings over and above the targeted $3B in cost synergies mentioned in press reports (WSJ, CNBC)) and ii) trades at 11.0x ‘16E EBITDA in-line with its current EV/EBITDA multiple of 10.9x. Our revised price targets are supported by a sum-of-the-parts analysis of the combined entity which yields upside of 17%," said the analyst.
