AngloAmerican Plc : Une offre qui a de vraies chances d’aboutir mais t...

>Une offre en titres qui n’intègre pas de vraie prime de contrôle à ce stade - BHP a confirmé hier matin avoir remis au conseil d'administration d'Anglo American une offre de rachat par échange de titres. Nous pensions jusqu’à présent qu’Anglo détenait des actifs trop hétérogènes ou trop peu performants pour intéresser un autre acteur en raison notamment des difficultés en Afrique du Sud. La structure proposée par BHP laisse toutefois de côté les activités sud-africai...

Repsol : Results beat forecasts but FCF weakened – Reassuring comments...

>Q1 results 6.4% above forecasts - Q1 adjusted net profit came to € 1.27bn (+6% QoQ /-33% YoY), 6.4% above the consensus (ODDO BHF: € 1.07bn; consensus: € 1.19bn), thanks to E&P and Industrial. E&P: the drop in the gap price took a tool - E&P posted an adjusted profit of € 442m, down 20%, whereas the Brent price was near-stable. This is because natural gas makes up two-thirds of the group’s production (590kboe/d) and is mainly produced in North Americ...

>Q1 2024 slightly higher than expected, sequential acceleration in NUG - Accor reported Q1 2024 sales of € 1,236m (+8% on a reported basis), 2% higher than the consensus of € 1,216m (ODDO BHF estimate: € 1,197m).

Strong B2B and CEECA driven beat

Adyen NV : Q1 net revenue growth +21% as they promised, moat is growin...

>Conclusion: Revenue in line but no beat, nothing new lower take rate more TPV - In 1Q24 the net revenue growth of +21% was in line with our expectations and company guidance. The market was hoping for a beat, which was not the case. The revenue growth was driven by a higher total processed volume growth offset by a lower take rate (nothing new). We believe that a lower take rate improves the moat of this business making it better able to win from competitors. The Q1...

TechnipFMC : Look forward, not backwards (from a share price perspecti...

>Outperform rating, TP raised to $ 31 - Post-release and post-conference call, we are raising our TP to $ 31 (vs $ 25.3 previously), based on a 12m PE multiple of 20x now vs 18x. Although the stock has turned in a solid performance of + 30% YtD (doubling on a 12m-trailing basis!), we still believe it offers upside potential. The adjustments we have made to our 2024/2026 forecasts are solely the result of a heavier tax burden than initially expected. Like most oi...

>Robust Q1 revenue (+7.3% LFL) with 220bp improvement in operating margin - Groupe Seb reported a substantial increase in Q1 earnings. Revenue grew 3.9% to € 1,893m whereas we had forecast € 1,838m. The main difference vs our estimate (3% gap) stemmed from organic growth, which reached 7.3% (mostly due to volume and mix) which was an excellent performance, as we had expected +3.6%. The consensus expected 6% organic growth. Except for Asia, all regions posted satisfact...

CEE Banks – Great opportunities with different risk profiles

The CEE region is expected to deliver a moderate rebound of GDP growth in 2024,following the preceding year’s weak growth, fuelling expectations of sustainable profits inthe banking sector. Inflation is seen to be twin faced in our region, similar to most of the coreeconomies. Even with a diminished potential for much intra-year improvement of the inflationpath in 2024, this inflation provides several CEE central banks more room to cut policy ratesthis year. Lower interest rates are expected to ...

Umicore commented that market dynamics in 1Q were in line with its expectations and the company reiterated its FY24 adj EBITDA guidance range of € 900-950m which represents at midpoint a 5% drop y/y. We continue to believe Umicore is well placed to play an important role in the electrification of transportation as we believe that global OEMs are still determined to establish local supply chains in Europe and North America. HLM and solid-state technologies will in our opinion support the position...
