Evonik is a German specialty chemical company that was publicly listed in 2013 by its majority owner, RAG-Stiftung, which still holds 59% of the shares. The company debuted as a conglomerate with energy and real estate divisions in addition to chemicals; however, those noncore businesses were quickly divested.
Evonik has higher exposure to defensive consumer-oriented end markets than many of its peers, which reduces cyclicality.
Majority owner RAG-Stiftung intends to reduce its stake in Evonik to 25% over time, which could be an overhang on the stock.
