ODDO BHF SECURITIES MORNING NEWS – DETAILED COMMENTS 04/05/2024

Several themes are set to drive the 2024 proxy season, among them the change of voting policy of ISS and a tipping point for climate resolutions. It will also be the last one before the first CSRD reports. Its long-term impact on Boards could also be underestimated. A wave of appointments of specialized sustainability profiles would upset their balance. We identify the AGMs likely to be play the most decisive role for the companies in the medium term: Alstom, Teleperformance, Worldlin...

ODDO BHF SECURITIES MORNING NEWS – COMMENTAIRES DETAILLES 05/04/2024

Plusieurs éléments animeront les assemblées générales 2024 : changement de politique de vote d’ISS, résolutions climat à un tournant… alors que cette saison est la dernière avant les premiers rapports CSRD. Celle-ci pourrait d’ailleurs avoir un impact long terme sous-estimé sur les conseils. Une vague de nominations de profils spécialisés en durabilité bouleverserait leurs équilibres. Nous identifions les AG les plus déterminantes pour la gouvernance des sociétés à moyen terme : Alsto...

Universal Music Group/4Q23 preview and model update/BUY

We update our model ahead of the 4Q23/FY23 results. We expect the 4Q23 adj. EBITDA margin to very slightly beat Visible Alpha consensus with the price increases in Spotify effective in the full quarter but we have slightly lower sales, on more negative FX. Both consensus and our estimates are in line with UMG guidance of an adj. EBITDA margin increase of at least 100bp. We pencil in €50m of restructuring lay-off costs in 2024F, with no real benefit in terms of margins. We raise our target price ...
