2309 GMT - Nufarm's decision to review its Seed Technologies business isn't likely to deliver a good result for shareholders, reckons Jefferies. Nufarm says all options are on the table for Seed Technologies in the UBS-led review. Nufarm has grappled with low fish-oil pricing in recent months, which led it to tell investors that it won't achieve a target of A$100 million of omega-3 revenue in FY 2025. Analyst Ramoun Lazar says the review "is likely to result in subscale outcomes for shareholders, given constrained near-term AquaTerra economics due to poor pricing and suboptimal production cost profile." Jefferies downgrades Nufarm to "underperform," from "hold," and cuts its price target by 55%, to A$1.96/share. Nufarm ended Wednesday at A$2.81. (david.winning@wsj.com; @dwinningWSJ)
