To be the owners of the biggest gas project in the EU, at a time when the former biggest supplier is threatening, once again, to cut supply off, is perhaps an enviable situation to be in, in our view. The contracts have been signed, construction has begun, and the drilling rig has arrived. However, we still need to wait until 2027E for completion, and the partners are boosting their capital expenditure to record levels. While the future is being constructed, the past continues to fade, with both...

Millennium has published its 2025-28E strategic targets, with a 2028E reported ROE of a minimum of 18%.

It is hard to compare our current forecasts with the bank’s targets, which reach out two years ahead, but we believe that our 2024-26E forecasts lay out a sensible path to achieving a ...

It seems that, finally, the group’s management has recognised the reasons behind the issues, and has implemented a series of initiatives aimed at boosting the growth and profitability of the segment, includi...
