Sipef 1H25 strong results make the group on track for a new record yea...
Sipef reported strong results, with the recurring net profit (gs) of $ 57.7m comfortably exceeding expectations (kbcse: $45.9m). While revenue growth of +23.3% to $ 250.4m (kbcse: $ 250.4m) was in line driven by a slightly higher than expected production growth of 19.1% to 208.0kt (kbcse: 204.1kt), we were particularly surprised by the strong gross profit growth of 65.6% to $ 113.3m (kbcse: $ 94.1m). As a result, the group now expects the recurring net result (gs) to be significantly higher than...

ASM International/High visibility, high reward/BUY
ASM International is mostly exposed to secular technological shifts, which makes it relatively resilient to the ongoing downcycle. In our view, its key drivers are the shift to GAA, shrinkage and the use of new materials. We expect all of these to remain strong and, as such, ASM should continue to strongly outperform the sector. We reiterate our BUY rating but lower our target price to €650 (from €750) following lower near-term estimates. ASM International is on the ING Benelux Favourites list.

Basic-Fit 1H25 results: underlying EBITDA less rent below CSS
Basic-Fit reports 1H25 revenue in line with CSS but misses -5.6% on underlying EBITDA less rent due to higher than expected personnel costs. Personnel costs increased 43% YoY of which 25% is related to opening clubs 24/7. The membership growth is in line with 2Q24 (+40k) and slightly below CSS of +50k despite the management confirming it sees the expected in-growth in the 24/7 clubs. Overheads incl. marketing (11.0%) are ahead of CSS and guidance (11.5-12.%). The full year guidance is reiterated...

Sligro/1H25 results: disappointing performance/HOLD
We keep our HOLD but reduce our target price from €12.5 to €11.5 following Sligro's weak 1H25 results. We continue to view the equity story as a margin recovery play but note that improvements in FY25F are expected to remain modest with the company guiding for a 5.5-6.0% EBITDA margin, well below the Street's expectations. We therefore reduce our EBIT forecast by 36/23% in FY25F and FY26F respectively. Sligro's balance sheet offers limited room for inorganic growth or for more cash return to sha...

Proximus meets headwinds/Daughter Proximus Global reduces FY25 outlook
Proximus has lowered its FY25 outlook because Proximus Global encountered unexpected headwinds. Although Proximus performed relatively well in Belgium, domestic competition is another source of uncertainty. Notably, Proximus is making slow progress to roll out fibre in Belgium together with competitors. The Proximus notes offer limited value, in our view.
