Dynamic Top Pick List Update February 2026: Removing ASMi; Adding UCB

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...

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, ...
