(Bloomberg) -- Kepler Cheuvreux expects mixed reporting
season for European chemicals, “with some positive and negative
surprises,” according to note today.

* Brokerage sees risk of disappointment for some agro cos.,
classical chemical players with oil exposure; bullish on
food/feed cos. with exposure to amino acids

* Says Evonik set to post strong 2Q results; earnings
visibility high, expects co. to raise target
* Sees headwinds for BASF in 2Q, risk for full-yr target as
“increasingly difficult” for co. to achieve 2015 goal for
Ebit before special items
* Industrial gas cos. to probably report solid performance,
earnings growth may be slightly better at Linde vs Air
Liquide in 1H due to different regional mix
* NOTE (June 29): BASF 2Q Results Could Disappoint: PT Cut at
Bankhaus Lampe
