bpost - Waiting for impact of press negotiations

•              The Q1-24 REBIT was somewhat below expectations, mainly on higher corporate costs. No concrete FY24 guidance as not all negotiations on press distribution are finalized yet and impact is still unclear.•              The planned acquisition of Staci can strategically be justified, but in our view it looks stretched financially, both on multiple paid and on resulting leverage. •              Although multiples appear undemanding, we stick to Hold. There are still many uncertainties.
