UCB UCB's exceptional semester rally (post 1H24 model update)

Over the past few months, UCB's share price has shown an exceptional rally as investor sentiment on Bimzelx turned positive again on the back of strong early launch metrics. From its 52-week low of € 65.40 in November 2023, the share price is now up 135%, and includes a 95% YTD run. While UCB still holds several pipeline catalysts for further upside potential (incl. some earlier-stage moonshot programs) into the rest of the year, we believe the company has now reached a fair valuation. We slightly adjust our TP from € 159 to € 161 to reflect updated FY24 estimates, and move from Accumulate to Hold.
