Fastned : Time to recalibrate to weaker BEV outlook

Fastned is one of Europe’s leading fast-charging network operators in Europe with 380 stations in operation. Albeit aiming to accelerate its station expansion pace from 50 to 100-150 pa, it has not yet delivered on the desired construction pace, this while capex and operating expenses are exceeding earlier expectations, and its operational stations are also not keeping up with the market growth (session per station up 10% vs. BEV fleet +22%). Today, we further lower our expectations and downgrade to Underperform. It in our view is almost unavoidable that the company quicker than our previous expectations needs to strengthen its equity position.
