Solid results in Q1, on track for FY guidance
Duna House posted solid results in the first quarter today morning. The Italian segment continued to post strong results and the elevated housing market activities in Hungary also contributed to the Group level result. Given the recent pullback in share price, we raise our recommendation to Accumulate while keeping our TP of HUF 1,137 unchanged.

Top line growth remained solid, but net profit disappoints
DIGI has reported its Q1 results today morning. While the revenue growth remained solid, supported by the strong underlying performance from key markets, net profit was quite disappointing in this quarter which came in at EUR 5.9mn, 73% down YoY.

Repricing on the horizon, catalysts in motion
Following the strategic update and the latest results, we update our forecasts on Waberer’s. Logistics may begin to normalize and continue to deliver sustainable profitability, while the Insurance segment will drive growth in the coming quarters. Waberer’s remained unreasonably cheap despite being able to complete recent acquisitions with compelling valuation. These companies will likely enhance profitability, contributing more than EUR 10mn+ at EBIT level in 2025. Based on these key drivers, ...

Expensive but value-creating acquisition
We leave our recommendation at Neutral following Erste’s Polish acquisition, which was expensive, in our view, although they spent their extensive capital in a value-creating way. We roll over and raise our Jun-26 ex-div target price to EUR 75.6 from EUR 64.2, implying a 10.0% TR upside potential including a DPS of EUR 0.8 for 2025 over the TP period.

Profitability plunges in Q1, outlook remains unchanged
AutoWallis posted Q1/25 results this morning. The company achieved record quarterly revenues of HUF 107.3bn, increasing 20% YoY, mainly driven by closed acquisitions. Profitability shrunk further in Q1 after we saw some contraction last year, as EBITDA dropped -31.5% on the year to HUF 3.3bn, while EPS came in at HUF 1.21 (-55% YoY). The rise in fix costs may continue to deteriorate earnings in the short term, while according to the management, this is necessary to support inorganic growth aspir...
