D'Ieteren Shareholder transaction values Belron at EV of € 32.2bn

D'Ieteren announced that Atessa, the holding company of ex-CEO Gary Lubner, has signed a binding agreement to sell 1.4% of its stake in Belron to existing minority shareholders (CD&R, H&F, GIC & Blackrock). The transaction values Belron at an EV of € 32.2bn and equity value of € 23.5bn (post dividend recap). This compares to an EV of € 21.0bn and equity value of € 17.2bn in 2021, when CD&R sold part of its stake to Blackrock, H&F & GIC. Note that since the 2021 transaction, Belron also distributed € 6.1bn to shareholders, thus implying a significant valuation uplift. The transaction values Belron at an 24eEV/REBITDA multiple of 19.4x, or in line with the 2021 valuation of 19.9x. As the transaction implies a Belron valuation of € 223 per D'Ieteren share, or well above our current estimate of € 149ps, we increase our TP from € 252 to € 300ps and reiterate our Buy rating.

Dynamic Top Pick List Update November 2024 – Adding Azelis – Removing Solvay

With 2 changes in our Dynamic Top Pick list (we add Azelis and we remove Solvay) we maintain a defensive stance on the market for 2H24. The long anticipated interest rate cuts by central banks have finally started. The Trump election victory in the US does not bode well for European stocks as he favours a protectionist course. Although industrial companies with a US base could actually benefit. Cleantech names with exposure to the US could also suffer (unless owned by E.Musk). We expect the US inflation and interest rates to increase and the Euro to weaken if the ECB can follow an independent...

Bekaert Feedback conference call

Below is the feedback from the 3Q conference call. Bekaert lowered its FY guidance to an uEBIT range of 340-350m, which at midpoint is c. 9% below our forecast (378m) and 8% below consensus (373m), reflecting weaker end markets. Importantly and taking into account the solid balance sheet (net debt/EBITDA below 1x) and limited recent M&A activity, Bekaert announced to immediately resume share buybacks and launched a € 200m (>10% of current market cap) SBB program, to be executed over the next 24 months. Despite the reduced FY guidance which will prompt a revision of our forecasts, we welcome th...

Inventiva FIRST LOOK: 3Q24 update holds no surprises, NATiV3 timelines reiterated

Inventiva provided a 3Q24 update which holds no surprises, reporting a cash position of € 13.9m. Following the € 94m in gross proceeds from the tranched equity raise (up to € 348m) announced in October 2024 and € 10m milestone from China partner CTTQ, Inventiva has a cash runway until the end of 2Q25 – this can be further extended with subsequent tranches based on certain conditions being met. With the financing overhang lifted, the focus is on recruitment for the phase 3 (NATiV3) trial of lanifibranor in NASH/MASH, where last screening and randomisation continue to be guided for YE24, and 1H...

The private banking division continued to post robust results with AuM rising 12.1% to a record high of €73.1b while gross inflows stood at €5.1b.
