The CMD was focused on the operational side of the business as the full Belgian team was present accompanied by the other country heads. The strategy of Eurocommercial was confirmed with no major updates. The goal of the CMD was clear: to show that the remerchandising project of Woluwe is a success which attracts high-end tenants at premium rents. There was a hint at an Italian acquisition but the market is competitive.

Late August CMB.TECH completed the merger with Golden Ocean which created one of the world's largest diversified listed maritime groups predominantly exposed to dry bulk (56% of GAV) and crude tankers (26% of GAV). Considering the ageing global tanker & bulker fleet, the group boosts an attractive low average vessel age and -thanks to its ongoing NB programme- still has room for further asset disposals while the future-proof vessels hold interesting optionality for low carbon fuel adoption. The ...
In this September update we added 2 stocks to the KBC Securities Dynamic Top Pick List : We added AB InBev after the share price weakened post-2Q results. ABI's 2Q volumes fell 1.9% organically, below expectations, mainly due to a 9% drop in Brazil where a price hike led to temporary market share loss. However, strong revenue per hl growth (+4.9%) drove a 6.5% organic EBITDA increase, with 1H growth at +7.2%, near the top of FY guidance (+4–8%). AB InBev, the world's largest brewer, generates ...
We cut our EPS 2025F-2027F by 10%-7%, and our TP to €44 from €46 following the weak 1H25, the Telemetrics deal and a notch lower WACC. We reiterate our BUY as we think the slower EPS growth reflects the temporary impact of a new US import model and the transition to larger projects, requiring better planning. EVS is accelerating its US offensive and the credible management team is confident on 2H25. We see these issues as short term growth pains. We like the industrial and financial rationale o...
Ackermans & van Haaren: A strong 1H25. Avantium: Nearly there. Eurocommercial Properties: Good results, positive effects of remerchandising. Recticel: Weak 1H25 calls for a 12% downgrade to consensus at Adj. EBITDA level. Sif Group: 2025 and 2026 guidance cuts. Staffing: Belgium - July Temp volume weaker at -3.5% YoY despite easier comps
Eurocommercial reports 1H25 EPRA EPS -1.6% below our estimates at EUR 1.22 vs EUR 1.24 exp. The result is flat YoY despite +2.8% increase in rental income. Both rental income, financial costs and taxes came in slightly higher than expected. There is also EUR 1.5m other income coming from advisory fees to JV's which offsets the higher investment expenses. On rent reversion, the Italian portfolio continues to outperform (+8.2%) while existing tenants give pushback in Sweden (-0.4%) and discounts a...
CFE: 1H results a bit light, FY outlook maintained. CMB.TECH: VLCC reasonable, pressure on Dry Bulk rates. dsm-firmenich: Givaudan CMD; Strategy 2030. Gimv: Investing in specialised healthcare services in the Netherlands. IBA: More sales but at lower margin
