Last week, WOOD held its second annual symposium in Istanbul (hosting the C-level management of 12 BIST-listed bluechips), which was highly appreciated by both investors and corporates. Overall, sentiment was consistent with our recent pre-elections trip report (followed by our report concerning the elections). The transition towards a more orthodox macroeconomic framework appears both credible and convincing, in terms of the measures implemented, in our view. In the paragraphs below, we focus o...
As food deflation risks increasingly diverge from one market to another, we take a fresh look at local price war risks and at the sector earnings cycle. We remain puzzled by the YTD sector derating and underperformance while FY 2024-25 expected EPS growth is still strong. Many investors seem to be

BHP's bid for Anglo American has confirmed interest from miners in copper in the context of increasingly challenged production and difficulties in fully completing projects. Anglo’s (Neutral) prospects in copper are now better valued and this is also the case for BHP (Neutral vs Underperform) although not so for Rio Tinto (Outperform vs Neutral). Downstream, Nexans and Montana Aerospace are our Top Picks (Outperform) vs Aurubis, Rexel and Prysmian (Neutral). - ...
L’offre de BHP sur Anglo American a confirmé l’intérêt des minières pour le cuivre dans un contexte de tensions croissantes sur la production et de difficultés à faire aboutir les projets.

>Calendar and FX certainly help but let’s not overlook the volume-driven underlying growth - Sales grew at a pace of +19% y-o-y to € 8.1bn (vs +17% in Q4) with the group’s l-f-l expanding at +6% (vs +10% in Q4). By business, Biedronka sales grew +19% to € 5.8bn, accelerating vs Q4 (+19%) helped by the calendar effect (3pp) and the FX (8pp). L-f-L only deteriorated 50bp q-o-q to 4.6% which is remarkable in a disinflationary context and proves right Biedronka’s volume-d...

With Q1 topping expectations in terms of both sales and EBITDA, notably thanks to Biedronla, we foresee a positive share price reaction this morning. But reiterated gloomy FY guidance combined with no early signs of the price war easing in Poland still suggests caution is advisable.

We have downgraded Budimex (BDX) to HOLD, from Buy, following the strong share price rally since July 2023. Our new 12M price target (PT) of PLN 730 (up 60%) offers a limited 7% potential upside. Since our initiation of coverage in July, the stock has grown by 65%, outperforming the WIG20 index by an impressive 51ppts. With our expectations of rather flat yoy 2024E earnings, we believe it is time for a well-deserved pause. In the mid-term, with support from EU funds in infrastructure projects, r...
