Analysts have cut the ARYZTA fair value estimate from CHF 66.45 to CHF 57.82. This reflects lower assumed revenue growth, slightly softer profit margins, a reduced future P/E multiple, and recent price target downgrades to CHF 40 from CHF 70 that flag pressure on pricing power in a weaker consumer backdrop.
