Colruyt/FY guidance reiterated despite weaker 1H25-26/BUY

We reiterate our BUY rating on Colruyt but lower our target price from €44 to €38 following Colruyt's 1H25/26F results, which came in below expectations at the operating profit level. While we note management's confident tone during its conference call, we reduce our EBIT forecast by 3.6% for FY25/26F, implying that we now sit roughly 2% below company-guidance. We expect Sunday openings as of January 2026, as well as a strong price position in Belgium to benefit top-line growth over the next eighteen months and therefore reiterate our BUY rating. Furthermore, we expect Colruyt's healthy balanc...

Colruyt 1H25/26 disappoints, outlook reiterated, but with caution

Although Colruyt already flagged during the AGM that the operating result in 1H25/26 would be lower, the -15.8% EBIT decline in 1H25/26 to € 213m came in below our estimates (kbcse: € 230m). While Colruyt still banks on a stable operating result and net profit for FY25/26, the group did highlight that the situation has become more complicated following the ongoing price and promo pressure, increased Sunday openings, abolition of the mandatory closing day and uneven level playing field in labour costs. As we believe it will be no easy task to achieve the outlook, we lower our TP from €41 to €38...

Zealand Pharma Positive phase 1a data for Kv1.3 channel blocker

Zealand Pharma reported positive phase 1a topline results for the Kv1.3 channel blocker ZP9830. Single ascending doses of ZP9830 were well tolerated, with no serious or severe adverse events or dose-limiting safety findings, and PK/PD profile was in-line with predictions. We view these data as de-risking for the program and look forward to the MAD data expected in 2H26, which should provide insight into extended exposure and additional proof of mechanism. Given the selective expression of Kv1.3 on effector memory T cells, we believe Kv1.3 blockers have pipeline-in-a-product potential in the at...

Dynamic Top Pick List update Removing Aedifica

We remove Aedifica from our Dynamic Top Pick list after we updated our model after the FY25 reporting. Since we upgraded Aedifica early November from Hold to Buy, it outperformed the EPRA developed index by 15,1%. We expect the momentum to continue on a positive outcome from the initial exchange period and a potential MSCI inclusion. However we see limited upside to our € 80,0 fair value so we cut our recommendation from BUY to ACCUMULATE.
