Here is what Rhizome Partners has to say about Univar Solutions Inc. in their Q4 2020 investor letter:
“We continue to be excited about Univar. We think the company is trading at about 8x 2022 P/FCF for a structurally advantaged and growing business. We think that the stock re-rates in 2021 and 2022 after it fully implements the new ERP system, reduces leverage, and starts reporting the fully synergized and normalized financials.”
