Keybanc Maintains Overweight on FMC, Lowers Price Target to $51

In a recent shift of investment strategy,&nbsp;David Tepper&#8216;s hedge fund,&nbsp;Appaloosa LP, has made significant alterations to its portfolio. 
What Happened: The firm&#8217;s latest 13F filing reveals a reduction in semiconductor holdings, while stakes in other tech stocks, including&nbsp;Oracle Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ORCL#NYSE">ORCL</a>) and the&nbsp;ARK Innovation ETF (ARKK), have been increased.
Appaloosa LP, during&nbsp;the fourth quarter of 2023,&nbsp;purchased&nbsp;1.3 million shares in Oracle&nbsp;Corp worth approximately&nbsp;$140 million and a call&nbsp;option for nearly&nbsp;2.6 million shares of the&nbsp;ARK Innovation ETF valued at over $133 million. The hedge fund also established&nbsp;new positions in FMC Corp.&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FMC#NYSE">FMC</a>) and General Motors Co.&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GM#NYSE">GM</a>).
Investments were also made&nbsp;in the home improvement, construction,&nbsp;and building materials sectors, with the acquisition of shares in firms such as Masco Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MAS#NYSE">MAS</a>), Mohawk Industries Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MHK#NYSE">MHK</a>), and Owens Corning (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/OC#NYSE">OC</a>).
According to a report <a href="https://www.investopedia.com/tepper-appaloosa-13f-q4-2023-8580346">by </a>Investopedia, Appaloosa reduced its positions in&nbsp;several tech firms, including Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMD#NASDAQ">AMD</a>),&nbsp;Alphabet Class C stock (GOOG),&nbsp;Qualcomm Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QCOM#NASDAQ">QCOM</a>), Uber Technologies (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UBER#NYSE">UBER</a>), and&nbsp;Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSM#NYSE">TSM</a>).&nbsp;The largest sell-off involved&nbsp;nearly 1.7 million shares of&nbsp;Intel Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/INTC#NASDAQ">INTC</a>).

Outside of tech, the fund sold off shares in KE Holdings Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BEKE#NYSE">BEKE</a>), Macy&#8217;s Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/M#NYSE">M</a>), and PDD Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PDD#NASDAQ">PDD</a>). On the flip side, Appaloosa added to its existing positions in Caesars Entertainment Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CZR#NASDAQ">CZR</a>), MPLX LP (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MPLX#NYSE">MPLX</a>), Alibaba Group Holding (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BABA#NYSE">BABA</a>), Amazon (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>), and Microsoft (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>).
The hedge fund also&nbsp;exited two positions entirely in&nbsp;the fourth quarter, selling off&nbsp;shares of Arista Networks (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ANET#NYSE">ANET</a>)&nbsp;and Enterprise Products Partners (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EPD#NYSE">EPD</a>).
Why It Matters: Appaloosa&#8217;s portfolio reshuffle indicates a strategic shift towards diversification. The reduction in semiconductor holdings comes amidst a global chip shortage, potentially signaling a cautious approach. 
The increased stakes in other tech stocks and the home improvement sector suggest a focus on industries that have shown resilience during the pandemic. The fund&#8217;s&nbsp;new positions in FMC Corp.&nbsp;and General Motors Co. indicate a bet on the agrochemical and automotive industries, respectively. 
The sell-offs, on the other hand, might reflect an attempt to mitigate risks associated with specific stocks or sectors.

BofA Securities analyst Steve Byrne downgraded the company from Neutral to Underperform and cut the price forecast from $61 to $48.
The analyst cited a weak first-quarter outlook, raising doubts about full-year volume growth assumptions and increased competition in diamides as key concerns.
Additional concerns includes limited EBITDA growth despite an easy 2024 comparable and renewed worries over leverage and dividend sustainability, per the analyst.
Byrne writes that he is at the upper end of FMC&#8217;s 2025 EBITDA guidance and project adjusted free cash flow of $369 million (within the company&#8217;s $200 million-400 million guidance range).
With an annual dividend of $300 million, the analyst sees net debt reduction of just $100 million in 2025, bringing gross debt/EBITDA to 3.4x by year-end and increasing the risk of a credit rating downgrade to non-investment grade.
For 2026, the analyst estimates post-dividend free cash flow of $150 million, leaving FMC needing $850 million in new debt to cover $1 billion in maturing bonds.
Given these challenges, Byrne believes a dividend cut is increasingly likely possible.
Apart from this, RBC Capital analyst Arun Viswanathan downgraded FMC from Outperform to Sector Perform and lowered the price forecast from&nbsp;$78&nbsp;to&nbsp;$47.
Investors can gain exposure to the stock via&nbsp;First Trust Materials AlphaDEX Fund (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FXZ#NYSE">FXZ</a>) and Global X AgTech &amp; Food Innovation ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KROP#NASDAQ">KROP</a>).
