Ekopak Delivery Waterkracht permit and Dutch wastewater plant acquisit...

As a result, all chemical companies in the Port of Antwerp will use purified wastewater to cool their production processes starting at the end of 2027. Earlier on the target was to start commercial operations early 2027 and this is still reflected in our earnings model. We will overhaul our model once it is...

Recticel/Acquisition of Miclar Group/BUY
We reiterate our BUY rating on Recticel and increase our target price from €12.0 to €13.5, following the acquisition of a 76% stake in Miclar Group. We view this as a very appealing acquisition for Recticel with Miclar having a materially higher Adj. EBITDA margin than the group at 19.8%. Furthermore, we view the multiple paid at 4.4x EV/EBITDA 2024 as undemanding, which should lead to material value creation in the upcoming years. At €13.5, Recticel would trade at 10.9/9.2x EV/EBITDA 2026/27F, ...

MaaT Pharma Final Xervyteg phase 3 data confirm strong survival outcom...
MaaT reported the final results from the phase 3 (ARES) trial of Xervyteg (MaaT013, microbiome therapy, enema formulation) in aGvHD at the American Society of Hematology (ASH) conference, being held 6-9 December 2025. The final OS results from the phase 3 (ARES) trial of MaaT013 coming in at 54% at 1 year confirm the previously reported 54% probability of survival that was shared with the topline readout in January 2025. We believe this brings a significant benefit vs. the 15% 1-year OS reported...

Recticel FIRST LOOK: Acquisition of Miclar Group, upgrade to Accumulat...
With the acquisition of a 76% stake in Miclar Group, Recticel further strengthens its insulated panels business, which today consists of the businesses acquired via Rex and Trimo. The deal value looks very reasonable at 5.7x EV/EBITDA24. We have updated our forecasts resulting in a 7% increase in our 2026 EBITDA estimate. Recticel still has significant firepower for additional acquisitions and we would expect the company to continue to hunt for mid-sized acquisitions that further enlarge positio...

Recticel/3Q25 postview: Early signs of recovery/BUY
We reiterate our BUY on Recticel and our €12 target price following Recticel's 3Q25 trading update. Recticel reported below-expectation sales in 3Q25 but reiterated its €55m Adj. EBITDA guidance for FY25F. Next to this comment, Recticel flagged that permits and mortgage demand have started to rebound in the UK and Europe, which may have an impact on 2026F already. A weak trading environment for Recticel Insulation Boards has put a drag on the group's profitability over the past three years, and ...
