We have downgraded our rating on VIGO Photonics to HOLD (from Buy) and set our price target (PT) at PLN 584/share, implying 10% upside potential. We see VIGO, with its unique technology, applicable to military products, as the best exposure to the global defence spending surge among the relevant Polish stocks, especially in the face of the recently-signed agreement with the Polish army for the delivery of infrared arrays. However, due to the growing dependence of VIGO’s equity story on new initi...

Kalekim announced its 1Q25 IAS 29 results yesterday (6 May), after the market closed, reporting net earnings of TRY 139m, -3% yoy, in its inflation-adjusted income statement. Despite the challenging domestic market conditions and the high base of 1Q24, Kalekim’s 1Q25 results were in line with our estimates from the top line to the bottom line. We see that the weakness in the operating performance was offset partially by the higher net financial income and lower net monetary losses.
