Dynamic Top Pick List Update April 2026: Adding Fagron
The tariff war between US and China has eased, but with the Iran conflict and an erratic Trump, uncertainty will continues unabated. Energy prices have gone ballistic, with gas prices doubling in Europe and has hit the cyclical stocks hard. KBC macro-econimists have hiked the inflation expectation for 2026 from 1.9% to 3.3%.

IBA FIRST LOOK: FY25 REBIT +58%, FY26 guidance of at least 17% growth
IBA reported solid FY25 results, with revenues up 24% to € 620m (kbcse: € 614m), driven by an accelerated backlog conversion and good order intake. However, gross profit margins still contracted by 150bps to 32.2%, driven by negative mix effects from legacy lower margin PT contracts. Nevertheless, as this was already anticipated, the FY25 REBIT of € 27.4m came in above the guidance of at least € 25m and was in line with our forecast. The 2026 guidance calls for a REBIT of at least € 32m (kbcse: ...
