Colruyt On the right track, but challenges remain
Last week, Colruyt published its FY24/25 results. While the results were in line with expectations, the outlook disappointed on the back of a challenging competitive environment. Despite the ongoing difficulties, we welcome the recently signed agreement to divest around 80% of its French stores. We expect that a full exit from the French market will enhance margins by around 40–50 basis points in FY26/27. Additionally, the transaction multiple is in line with market valuations. Incorporating the...

Furthermore, we take a deep dive into growth drivers and long-term financing for Elia Group, beyond the company's current financ...

Dollar Weakness The impact on our Benelux Coverage
In general, a weaker USD has a negative impact on Benelux stocks, particularly for companies with significant exports to the US. In this note we selected a list of companies with high US export exposure and we examine the potential impact on FY25 earninings. On top of the weak dollar, rising trade tensions or the introduction of tariffs further harm Benelux exporters. As the dollar depreciates against the euro, European goods become costlier for American consumers. At the same time, revenues ear...
