Kinepolis Group Keep The Faith, they Wanna Be Startin' Somethin' in M&...
Investors should Keep The Faith as Kinepolis Group showed resilience in 1H25, rebounding from a weak start with strong 2Q visitor growth and rising profitability, supported by premium formats. While the delay of the Michael biopic (originally planed for 3Q) deprived cinemas of a potential blockbuster boost, Kinepolis' management remains confident. Despite a challenging August and an uncertain 3Q outlook, a strong 4Q and FY26 pipeline offers hope for recovery. In the meantime, Kinepolis continues...

Dynamic Top Pick List Update September: Adding AB InBev and Exor
In this September update we added 2 stocks to the KBC Securities Dynamic Top Pick List : We added AB InBev after the share price weakened post-2Q results. ABI's 2Q volumes fell 1.9% organically, below expectations, mainly due to a 9% drop in Brazil where a price hike led to temporary market share loss. However, strong revenue per hl growth (+4.9%) drove a 6.5% organic EBITDA increase, with 1H growth at +7.2%, near the top of FY guidance (+4–8%). AB InBev, the world's largest brewer, generates ...

Kinepolis/More popcorn, more EBITDA/BUY
We up our EPS up 2%-1%, our target price remains unchanged. Kinepolis reported a strong 1H, on better operating leverage, higher ticket and ITS, slightly higher visitors while net debt was in line. We slightly cut our visitors estimates on a more prudent 3Q, but this is more than offset by higher spend per visitor and margins. The stock underperforms 22% YTD, as a too-bullish consensus was adjusting to a weaker attendance. We think the case is worth revisiting. The pure standalone recovery story...

We maintain our positive stance (Buy, € 50 Target Price) after 1H25 showed that strong international blockbusters put leverage on Kinepolis' premiumisation strategy. 2Q25 showed that Kinepolis' investments in experience and innovation as well as its operating model are particularly rewarding. We look forewarned to more news on further external expansion as the CEO highlighted that they are prepared for it after the new credit facility (Kinepolis closed in 1H a new € 160.0m credit line).

Sofina Cognita €6bn deal collapse impacts Sofina's 13.4% stake
A €6bn private equity deal for Cognita, a UK-based private school operator and one of Sofina's key holdings, is on the brink of collapse. Jacobs Capital, the majority shareholder, aimed to sell a significant stake in Cognita in Apr'25. The stake sale to the primary bidders, Blackstone and CVC, is now unlikely to proceed, according to the Financial Times. The deal's failure stems from a valuation mismatch and the UK's new 20% VAT on private school fees, which has introduced market uncertainty. In...
