FRANKFURT (dpa-AFX Broker) - The shares of consumer goods manufacturers Beiersdorf and Henkel have moved on Tuesday by analyst ratings opposite directions. The papers of the Hanseatic company were among the Dax favorites with up to 2.2 percent growth and were last quoted 0.6 percent higher. In contrast, the competitor from Düsseldorf fell by a good 1.8 percent.

Henkel came under pressure due to a canceled positive vote by Exane BNP Paribas. The experts now rate Henkel as "neutral". In contrast, the French bank had expressed praise for Beiersdorf and raised the value to "Outperform". In addition, industry expert analyst Molly Wylenzek from analyst firm Jefferies had included Beiersdorf in her "Franchise Picks" recommendation list with particularly convincing buy ideas.

After the company's already two-year turnaround with improved sales growth and some margin progress, the prospects are also good in the medium term, Wylenzek wrote about Beiersdorf. With her new target of 152 euros, the expert believes that the share price will currently increase by almost a quarter - she thus expressly contradicts the concerns of many investors that the good news at Beiersdorf is already priced in./tav/mis
