0759 GMT - Gas rationing for SGL Carbon would significantly hit the German carbon and graphite-product manufacturer at a time when high energy prices are already putting its margins under pressure, Berenberg analyst Thomas Junghanns says in a research note. The company is energy-intensive because of its high-temperature production processes and its largest sites are located in Germany, Junghanns says. The company is also vulnerable to price fluctuations in the transportation sector as it ships parts over long distances. "We assume that the company manages to deal with cost inflation in 2022 but anticipate further pressure in 2023 as energy prices are not fully hedged," Junghanns says. (pierre.bertrand@wsj.com)
