Liquid Intelligent Technologies (High Yield) – Q3 25: Deleveraging app...

Liquid faced a tougher comparable this quarter but is still growing on an underlying basis. Net debt/Adj. EBITDA was 3.25x as of end November 2024 but if we consider the $90m equity raise and assumed $50m as bond relief, we estimate today’s leverage at 3.08x. This is important because the company needs to step down its leverage to the term loan covenant of 3.0x by February 2025.

KPN (Neutral, TP: €4.0, +12%) Q4 24: B2C SR outlook is a concern – res...

KPN has reported a slightly weak set of numbers with SR -0.7% light and EBITDAaL -0.2% below consensus expectations. Guidance for 2025 EBITDAaL is in-line with medium-term ambitions but c0.5% below consensus that was ahead of those targets. Adjusting for the various M&A deals, B2C SR is weaker at +1.0% y/y from +2.7% y/y, with B2C mobile +0.3% y/y from +6.7% y/y and B2C fixed +1.3% y/y from +1.0% y/y. Given the slowdown here, and the slightly disappointing EBITDA guidance, we think Neutral remai...

​Investors are still concerned that the CHTR / TWC transaction could be blocked, as evidenced by a deal spread of 9%. The market appears to be giving the deal 50% odds of being approved. We think the market is way off the mark; this deal has high odds of approval.

Thematic Research - Quantifying The Impact From Part D Reform

In 2025, Big Pharma will be exposed to further US drug pricing reform as a result of the IRA act. This is the final big change to play out and we calculate there is the potential for a mid-single digit EBIT impact for some companies, but there is material heterogeneity in terms of the magnitude of the impact. There is also the potential for upside for Novo & LLY. However, given the significant complexity in the reimburse-ment changes & in computing the current sales in Medicare Part D, we are re...

Thematic - Obesity Drugs Won’t Change The World

Despite our bullish stance on Novo & the obesity drugs, in this note we aim to show the minimal impact they will have on the broader economy despite recent fears that new obesity drugs will have a material negative impact on a broad range of sectors. We show that these claims are well overblown in the near-term, with only 0.15% of the US population currently on anti-obesity drugs (AODs). Our forecasts, which point to a $50bn US market by 2030, imply that

Based on numbers leaked by The Information last week and our expertise in AI infrastructure costs, we estimated the P&L and compute costs that the company anticipates until 2029. We then put OpenAI’s projections into perspective: how do their compute costs compare to our forecast for the industry overall, how does the mix between training and inference compare to our projection, etc.
