Fresenius SE & Co. KGaA's shares fell on Tuesday after the company released guidance for the current year and provided details on its mid-term targets during the 2021 results report.

At 0846 GMT, shares traded 6% lower at EUR34.38.

The German healthcare company increased its savings target to at least EUR150 million a year in 2023 from over EUR100 million previously. However, it expects organic net profit growth at the bottom end of the 5%-9% compound annual growth rate during the 2020-23 period, which, according to Jefferies, could signal potential pressures.

Analysts at the bank expect the market to focus on guidance as full-year results came in mostly in line with expectations.
