Deceuninck FIRST LOOK: 1H adj EBITDA +10%, beating expectations –upgrade to BUY

Deceuninck reported better than expected 1H adj EBITDA, up c 10% y/y and 20% above our forecast and 22% above consensus. Net result came in below expectations on higher financial and tax charges. Market conditions are expected to remain difficult, whilst the focus will remain on operational excellence and cost optimization, with the German restructuring plan in execution. While acknowledging the cyclical character of Deceuninck, we expect support from the EU Green Deal in the coming years while also Recycling activities still have significant structural growth potential. Valuation is clearly attractive and we up our rating from Accumulate to BUY with TP unchanged at € 4.2.
