We reiterate our BUY on Lotus Bakeries but lower our target price from €12,000 to €10,300 on the back of lower short-term estimates, due to the deconsolidation of ice cream and chocolate sales, as well as a higher WACC. We believe that Lotus Bakeries has underperformed key peers Mondelez and Lindt & Sprüngli this year due to investor concerns on constrained volume growth for Lotus Biscoff and to a potential slowdown in Natural Foods growth. We note that both those concerns have been put to rest ...
We saw a good set of 1H25 results as a 13% y/y increase in turnover translates into an increase in underlying operating profit from EUR 8.4m (excluding Savoury business) to €12.7m although raw material costs remain historically high, mainly for animal proteins and ingredients. Energy and transport costs have also risen further. We maintain our positive stance (Accumulate, € 135 Target Price) as What's Cooking? expects to continue the good results of 1H25 in 2H25. They expect FY25 REBITDA to be b...
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...

In view of the significant volume growth Lotus Bakeries realised in FY24, the y/e consecutive volume increase of both Biscoff and Natural Foods was a testament to the strength of the different brands. The y/y increase of 1H25 REBITDA and REBIT of 11.7% and 12.6% respectively, outpace the top-line growth (9.7%) and confirms again the strength of Lotus Bakeries' operating model. The international growth engines of Biscoff and Natural Foods generate solid volume increases allowing to leverage its o...
