Sofina - Calm H2 but likely positive surprise at final NAV

• Sofina's preliminary NAV landed at EUR 272, albeit excluding the market rally in Q4• We expect the final NAV to come in higher. Today, we estimate Sofina's NAV to be EUR 283.2 p/s, implying a discount of 25.6%.• Sofina has been one of the laggards YTD in the investment company sector. We expect this to revert as we progress into the year and as we expect deal activity returns. Hence, we reiterate our BUY rating in the meantime. TP increased to EUR 273 (from EUR 266 previously)
