Azelis/2Q25 preview: Don't expect a trend change yet/BUY
We lower expectations ahead of Azelis' 2Q25 results, driven by the prevailing uncertainty regarding trade and tariffs, especially in North America, and adverse FX trends. Our BUY stands, on a revised target price of €22 (previously €25), given Azelis's compelling valuation discount of c.30% relative to IMCD for a broadly similar medium-term growth dynamic and margin profile.

Benelux Morning Notes

Staffing: Better French volumes in May even with easier comps, June outlook sluggish. Staffing: Dutch figs Period 6 volume and revenues weaker on tougher comps. UCB: Trump threatens a 200% tariff on pharmaceutical products

Dynamic Top Pick List Update June: Removing Merus, Shurgard and Adyen ...
In this June update, we've made four adjustments to the KBC Securities Dynamic Top Pick List: 1.Merus (Removed – 27 May) was removed following the release of strong interim Phase 2 data at the ASCO 2025 conference. Its lead asset, petosemtamab, in combination with Keytruda, showed a 63% overall response rate in first-line treatment of head and neck cancer—significantly outperforming Keytruda monotherapy. The resulting share price surge validated our investment thesis. 2. Adyen (Removed) has de...

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.

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 ...
