Ingevity - Shrinking To Grow
Ingevity Corporation is implementing a shrink-to-grow strategy by divesting non-core assets to enhance focus and profitability. The company has recently sold some assets at modest prices, which followed significant impairment charges but did not significantly affect earnings. With a target of $4.70–$5.20 EPS and $370–$395 million adjusted EBITDA for 2026, there is cautious optimism for potential re-rating if further simplification or a spin-off occurs.
