bpost/A turnaround is not a next day delivery/HOLD

HOLD maintained; target price increased from €1.75 to €1.95 to reflect progress made in the last two quarters and the increase in outlook.

In the medium term, the focus should be on refinancings. The average debt maturity is low at 3x which is related to the ongoing excha...
