Dynamic Top Pick List Update September 2024 –Cofinimmo & Kinepolis in;...
In this September update of our Dynamic Top Pick List we make 4 changes. •We include Cofinimmo in our Dynamic Top Pick List after our recent upgrade from Accumulate to Buy. We expect the name to outperform in a decreasing interest rate environment given its relatively high leverage and cheap valuation. We also believe the risk of a dilutive equity raise eased when the FY24 capex decreased from € 320m to € 250m. The management stays disciplined in its capex program and continues to focus on asse...

Van de Velde Sharpening its market position in challenging spring for ...
We updated our model on Van de Velde after the unfavourable weather conditions led to lower 1H24 sales in many stores. Especially in swim sales, they experienced a decrease. We lower our Target Price to € 38.5 (was € 40) but maintain our Buy-rating as Van de Velde approaches 2H24 with confidence, even though they remain vigilant in the current environment. The strong market position of its brands PrimaDonna and Marie Jo in both the Benelux and Germany provides them with a strong foundation for ...

Van de Velde FIRST LOOK: Weather conditions led, as expected, to lower...
In 1H24, Van de Velde experienced a decrease in swim sales. The unfavourable weather conditions led, as expected, to lower sales in many stores. On a comparable basis (including comparable seasonal deliveries), the 1H24 turnover decreased y/y 5.1%to € 116.2m. The reported turnover decreased -6.1% y/y to € 113.3m, a little softer than we expected. But profitability (EBITDA-margin) was above our FY target (1H24 EBITDA margin 26.5% while we expect FY24E EBITDA margin of 26.4%). This EBITDA evolutio...

In July, our Dynamic Top Pick List selection was up on average 0.9%; outperforming our benchmark indices (Bel20, AEX, EuroStoxx50) by 1.7% on average. Helped by this July performance, the selection is now up by 11.4% since the start of the 2024 selection (published Mid-December 2023). In this August 2024 update of our KBC Securities Dynamic Top Pick List we remove argenx and Tubize after delivering upon expectations. * Over the past two months, argenx has delivered upon our expectations on the...

Dynamic Top Pick List Update July 2024: Fagron & Xior in; Alfen & Shur...
We anticipate a continued cautious stock market over 2H24 as expectations for steep and fast interest rate cuts by central banks have proven premature as inflation remains relatively sticky, especially in the US. Also corporate profit growth in Europe slows and the French elections have cast a negative spell. The strong US consumer also has run out of cheap financing and stimulus. The upcoming elections in the US could divide the biggest economy into extreme stances and political uproar. The li...

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.

Dynamic Top Pick List Update May 2024 : Adding Fugro, Removing Arcadis
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...

Dynamic Top Pick List Update April 2024: Adding TINC
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...

Dynamic Top Pick List Update March 2024 : Replacing UCB by Tubize
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 ...

Van de Velde - FY23 results
FY23 results came in below expectations. Sales flat vs. last year. B2B is impacted by the slow recovery of the retail traffic in ‘23 while D2C was up 11%, showing the relevance of their optichannel strategy.EBITDA margin remains at strong level (26.7%), above our expectations (DPe 26.1%). This reflects strong cost management and positive price impact. With a EUR 60.6m cash position, dividend is raised by 5.5% and a new SBB is launched.Although there is uncertainty around the B2B business in the ...

Van de Velde FIRST LOOK - 1H23 sales somewhat lower than expected
In 1H23 -on a comparable basis so including comparable seasonal deliveries- Van de Velde's turnover increased y/y 4.3% to €122.5m. In both segments (B2B and D2C), swim sales grew significantly for the second consecutive year. In the D2C segment there is a “double-digit” growth of 13.6% on a comparable basis thanks to investments in its brands. The B2B segment grew less strongly (+2.2%) in 1H23, partly as a result of high inventory levels end 2022 at its independent retail partners. The reporte...
