Aalberts Good results & WC mgmt, higher DPS but lower SBB, no quantified outlook

FY25 release was a mixed bag. Over FY25 Aalberts' topline came in above our expectations organically declining by only -2.5% vs. our -3.8% expectation. Topline stood at €3091m compared to our €3064mE and consensus of €3073mE. Adjusted EBITA of €410m was in line with our €405mE and CSS of €403mE. Overall EBITA margin was in line with earlier guidance at 13.3% (vs. 13.1% CSS, 13.2% KBC). The FCF & NWC management was solid. Declared DPS of €1.15 exceeded expectations but the announced SBB of €75m comes in a tad below our €90m expectations. The issued outlook for ‘unquantified' improvements in organic growth and EBITA margin in 2026 is cautious. This contrasts with the consensus organic growth expectations of 2.4% in 2026, compared to the realised decline of -2.5% last year. We stick to our Hold & € 33 TP.
