WDP's FY25 results were fully in line but the company surprised in already revealing its 2030 targets. We like such long-term visibility combined with very clear targets: €500m of yearly capex that can be auto-financed, delivering a +6% CAGR. WDP now has pan-European ambitions and aims to establish a presence in Italy and Spain. While the company has not delivered on its entrance into Germany, we think that opening itself to new countries is the right ambition to have at this stage. The plan loo...
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...

WDP estimates its underlying EPS growth at 7%. Current development pipeline stands at 480k sqm of which 81% is pre-let with an expected NOI yield of 7.3%. The high pre...

We raise our 2025F-26F estimates for Umicore on the back of higher precious and platinum group metals prices, with our estimates for the battery materials business broadly unchanged. We raise our target price from €10 to €19 per share, driven by higher estimates and peer multiples, yet maintain our HOLD recommendation. Umicore shares have rallied +85% over the last year, largely driven by the melt-up in metals prices, although its earnings power in 2026F is likely moderated by elevated hedging l...
