KBC Ancora/Cash accumulation, higher dividend yield/BUY
There was little to expect from this 1H set of results and they are mostly in line with our estimates. Cash was in line as well at €105m, but should come down in 2H, so the cash position will be restored again to pay the bullet loan maturing in May 2027. We expect a share buyback to follow but, in the meantime, KBC Ancora may still decide to lower the 10% that is reserved: if this is lowered to 0%, it would add c.€8 per share on our new target price of €91.0 (previously €85.0). We reiterate our ...

Dynamic Top Pick List Update February 2026: Removing ASMi; Adding UCB
After today's changes (ASMi out, UCB in), we maintain a balanced approach in our Dynamic Top Pick List, with a particular emphasis on value stocks that have been overlooked. Our defensive holdings are overweight, including real estate, which stands to benefit from lower interest rates. We remove ASMi from our Dynamic Top Pick List as the recent share price performance has driven the valuation meaningfully ahead of fundamentals. Since early December, FY27 diluted EPS expectations have risen by a...

UCB Presents supportive three-year Bimzelx data in HS at EHSF
UCB announced that three-year data from the BE HEARD trials for Bimzelx in moderate to severe HS will be presented at the Conference of the European Hidradenitis Suppurativa Foundation EHSF, being held 4–6 February in Malta. The data show high rates of total HS resolution at 3 years, high rates of improvement from moderate or severe HS to mild disease, as well as strong draining tunnel resolution.

UCB Model update ahead of FY25 results
Following the second guidance upgrade for FY25 (announced 5 December 2025), we update our UCB model ahead of FY25 results. UCB now expects revenue to exceed €7.6bn, representing +24% y/y (previously at least €7bn). The upgraded guidance reflects - next to the continued growth of Rystiggo, Zilbrysq, Fintepla and Evenity – strong performance of Bimzelx, including a strong momentum in hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) and a favourable payer mix in the US. Our model update increases Bimzelx FY25 sales t...

UCB/Bimzelx continues its exceptional launch/BUY
We reiterate our BUY rating and raise our target price from €257 to €310. UCB finished the year strongly, after upgrading its guidance for a second time in FY25. This upgraded guidance was mainly driven by an exceptional performance for Bimzelx, the group's key growth engine and which continues to surprise to the upside. This gives us comfort into our peak sales of €8.5bn for Bimzelx by 2032F, especially as the performance of Bimzelx in Hidradenitis Suppurativa remains strong. Alongside Bimzelx,...
