• Gimv announced it will take a majority stake in SMG Sportplatzmaschinenbau, the global leader of machines for sports floors and artificial grass• It is Gimv's first significant investment since its change in shareholdership• No further details were announced• We estimate today's NAV to be EUR 54.2, implying a discount of 14.1%. Given the conservative valuation (8.6x EBITDA) of the portfolio combined with the low leverage (1.7x EBITDA), we deem this as too high. Hence, we reiterate ou...
Despite some large dividend payments (CP Invest, Bekaert, EVS, Solvay, TINC, Van de Velde, Ackermans & Van Haaren...) in our Dynamic Top Pick list in May 2024, our selection gained 1.6% on average, underperforming our benchmark indices (Bel20, AEX, EuroStoxx50) by -0.8% on average. Since the start of the 2024 selection (published on 14 December 2023), the Dynamic Top Pick list is up 15.2%, outperforming these indices by 3.7% on average. In this June 2024 update of our Dynamic Top Pick List, we ...

In this May edition of our Dynamic Top Pick List we replace Arcadis by Fugro. Arcadis continues to deliver consistently on its promises and is working hard to realise its 2026 margin targets via cross selling, leveraging its global engineering platform and numerous self-help measures. In spite of this we remove Arcadis from our Dynamic Top Pick List as the recent & strong share price performance leaves little room for further short term triggers As a service provider to the energy industry, Fu...
We continue our KBC Securities Dynamic Top Pick List with a 50/50 cyclical/defensive selection, but with a focus on value stocks that have been left behind. Defensive segment like holdings are overweight. However, in the Benelux we have a selection of cyclical industrials at cheap valuations that have often underperformed the market. We favour Benelux value stocks as even a mild recession typically hits growth stocks proportionally harder. We notice that some stocks have been hit hard by minor s...
We replace UCB by Tubize in our KBC Securities Dynamic Top Pick List. Over the past few weeks, UCB has seen a strong rally in its share price, markedly outperforming the BEL-20 index. The rally came on the back of renewed investor confidence in its flagship product Bimzelx, which gained FDA approval for psoriasis in October 2023 albeit with unexpected warnings and precautions. In the meantime, we see that commercial traction is growing in line with our expectations, as phyicians and caregivers ...
