OPAP - Improved momentum in Q224

OPAP enjoyed improved momentum in Q224 driven by the ongoing innovation of its core products in both retail and online, and the anticipated boost from the UEFA European Football Championship 2024. Interestingly, management highlighted that the new active customers it gained for the event have spent money in other non-sports betting verticals, and a high proportion have been retained, having enjoyed the increased functionality of its games. OPAP also announced the award of the exclusive licence (versus the prior bilateral and relatively informal agreement) to run the retail operations of numerical games and lotteries in Cyprus for 15 years, which represented c 4% of group gross gaming revenue (GGR) in FY23.

OPAP | First thoughts: Impeccable results, guidance raised to the upper end of the range

Q3 adj. EBITDA +24% yoy, c12% above our estimates on strong revenues; FY24 EBITDA to settle to the upper end, as per mgt – OPAP has reported a very strong Q3, growing revenues +18% yoy, thanks to easy comps, Joker jackpot and strong online (+36%) coupled with the normalization of costs which were frontloaded to H1’24 (non variable opex -11% yoy in Q3). These led EBITDA to an impressive +24% increase yoy on an adjusted basis (€213m), or +47% on a reported basis (Q3’23 weighed down by provisions). The strong operating results were only partly offset by a €7m impairment related to the Hellenic Lo...

OSE Immunotherapeutics - Full Lusvertikimab results reflect potential in UC

OSE Immunotherapeutics’ final analysis of the CoTikiS trial in ulcerative colitis (UC) confirmed that Lusvertikimab met the primary endpoint with statistical significance, highlighting its potential to offer a clinically meaningful solution for the condition. In our view, this marks a positive step forward for the candidate, which, to our knowledge, has a unique mechanism of action to address chronic inflammatory and autoimmune diseases. We believe that OSE plans to advance this programme to the next stages of development (Phase IIb or Phase III) once a partner is onboard. Based on the encoura...

Murray Income Trust - Income focus keeps paying dividends

Murray Income Trust (MUT) invests in high-quality, mainly UK-listed stocks. MUT’s manager, Charles Luke, believes quality stocks are best placed to support the trust’s objective to provide a high and rising dividend. The trust has realised this objective, delivering continually rising dividends for 51 years, and looks set to extend this record in FY25. MUT’s quality focus has undermined its relative performance over recent years, as value stocks have outperformed, but long-term performance has been positive and close to the benchmark, satisfying MUT’s capital growth goal. And Luke is optimisti...
