Aalberts Key Take-aways 1H25 Analyst Call

This morning Aalberts reported 1H25 numbers. Building continued to show a minimal organic growth in 2Q (as in 4Q and 1Q). In Industry the topline decline slowed down to -2.9% and margins benefitted from footprint and cost out initiatives (+90bps q/q). Semicon suffered from an acceleration in the growth decline to -15.5% (2Q) from -11.3% (1Q). Overall, management no longer banks on a growth recovery in 2H25 and expects full year margins to be at 13-14% (previously > 15%). 2026 margin targets (16-18%) were no longer reaffirmed. Yesterday's consensus was still banking on 2025 margins of 14.5% (14.7% KBC). Considering the ongoing cost optimisation measures, recent strategic M&A (announcements) and anticipated divestments we stick to our Accumulate on valuation grounds but will revise our earnings model. Below are the main take-aways of the analyst call.
