BASF a buy or a sell?

$BAS (-0.47%)


Since the high in 2015, BASF's share price has fallen by around 50%. Despite this enormous correction within the last 2 years (to be fair, it must be mentioned that the majority of this 50% mainly occurred in the last 2-3 years), the P/E ratio of the stock is over 75. According to this indicator, the company is still enormously overvalued despite its catastrophic share price performance.

The dividend yield is still high, but this has also been drastically reduced in the meantime.


The margin is now 0.33%!


The crumbling German economy is clearly affecting the company, and BASF has been relocating many resources abroad for several years now, especially to China.


What is positive, however, is the enormous free cash flow of over one billion with a market cap of around 37 billion.


What is your opinion on the stock?

I will continue to hold. But I probably wouldn't buy at the moment. But I wouldn't sell either.

Dividend will be cut as far as I know.
Cyclical business.

But will get back on its feet 👍🏻

I only have it in my portfolio because you have very good conditions as an MA.

I'm sticking with the hold for now. I'm still very new to the stock market and perhaps I wouldn't have bought the share with the knowledge I have now. However, it has not yet caused me any major losses, so I will take the dividend for the time being, even if it is cut significantly. I definitely see the possibility of a turnaround. IF work is done on energy costs for industry after the next election. There is also a lot of catching up to do in terms of infrastructure, but it is possible.
