Air Products and Chemicals (APD) have seen a series of analyst downgrades and price target cuts following the company's poor earnings results. The company missed analysts' earnings estimates and revealed a decline in year-on-year revenues and profits. Investigations into potential fraud at APD are simultaneously ongoing, alongside its advanced negotiations with Yara on low-emission ammonia projects. The impact of the Yara negotiations on the bull case scenario for APD continues to be a topic of interest, with several analysts maintaining buy and outperform ratings regardless of APD's underperforming earnings and ongoing investigations. The company's strategic shift towards a purer industrial gases business model is being followed with interest. APD's commitment to exploring opportunities with Yara in hydrogen and clean ammonia are significant moves towards decarbonisation. However, the uncertainty surrounding APD's strategic plans combined with mixed valuation signals and its recent underperformance in the market have raised questions about the company's current value.
