Dynamic Top Pick List Update May 2025: Removing Fugro – Adding Merus
The ongoing tariff war continues to create uncertainty for investors, with a trade embargo between the US and China. Although Europe has received a temporary reprieve, the prolonged situation could result in significant economic damage. We are maintaining a defensive stance in our Benelux Dynamic Top Pick List, as the Federal Reserve holds steady and the European Central Bank may continue lowering rates. Pessimism regarding the European industry has increased, though some US-based European compa...

Azelis The strong undervaluation is the trigger
In this note we lower our organic growth, gross profit margin expectations and increase OpEx expectations, which results in an estimated adj. EBITA of € 471m for FY25e or 8.1% below our prior estimate. We provide a detailed overview for each region on a quarterly basis. Furthermore, we compare the organic growth dynamics between Azelis and IMCD. Azelis is trading at a very attractive valuation not only compared to IMCD but also to the broader market. The recent market developments drive a lower ...

Dynamic Top Pick List Update April 2025: Removing Gimv – Adding Adyen
In this April 2025 update of the KBC Securities' Dynamic Top Pick List, we are removing Gimv and adding Adyen. Since adding Gimv to the Dynamic Top Pick List in mid-December 2024, Gimv's performance has remained flat. However, month-to-date, it has increased by nearly 7%, while the indices have all declined. Given the backdrop of a tariff war brewing, we think it's time to remove Gimv from the Dynamic Top Pick List as medium-sized businesses are more likely to feel the pinch of lower demand and...

Azelis/Positive tone, but still some caution/BUY
Post FY24 results, we maintain our BUY recommendation on the back of Azelis' +20% valuation discount to key peer IMCD and continued appeal of the specialty chemicals distribution model. While Azelis' and IMCD's management tone in recent conference calls was overall positive, pointing to strong 1Q25 order books, we are wary of a slow-paced and uneven market recovery in FY25F given limited visibility and order patterns not fully normalised, reflected in our slightly lowered organic growth estimate...

Dynamic Top Pick List Update March 2025: Removing ABN, Ackermans – Add...
We made 5 changes in this March update of our KBC Securities Dynamic Top Pick List (DTPL): On 26 February we already removed ABN Amro from our DTPL, after a strong 24.4% return since the announcement of our 2025 Dynamic Top Pick List on 13 December 2024, far outpacing our financial sector coverage. Although we remain positive on the longer term, we believe most of the short-term revaluation is behind us. Today, we remove Ackermans & van Haaren as the stock just hit an all-time high and crossed...

Azelis A deep dive in to organic and acquisitional growth
Azelis proved its resilience over the past years with organic revenue CAGR of 6.6% (2020-2024) combined with robust margin expansions. Therefore, Azelis could be a safe haven in volatile times, supported by their strong geographical and end-market diversification. Nevertheless, we believe that CSS's organic revenue growth expectations are too optimistic. On the other hand, the upside from acquisitions is undervalued. We provide a detailed overview on the acquisitional revenue growth, which we lo...
