Yesterday, Energynow.ca published an article on the withdrawal of support by the Metlakatla First Nation citizens of Canada. Supposedly the Metlakatla First Nation's decision to retract its backing for the nearly completed REEF export project is rooted in concerns that it was not informed of an exclusivity agreement granting REEF an export monopoly, which could harm its economic interests in the rival Trigon terminal where it holds a 10% stake. A recent BC Supreme Court ruling allowing Metlakatl...
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...
Nous avons sélectionné 10 graphiques afin d’identifier les principaux drivers du secteur. Les Capex sont attendus en repli de 1.5% en 2026 après un rebond de 70% depuis le point bas de 2020. Cette baisse proviendra essentiellement du marché US (plus forte discipline compte tenu de points morts plus élevés). Nous privilégions SBM Offshore (Surperformance, OC 45 €), Vallourec (Surperformance, OC 22 € vs 20.8 €) et Technip Energies (Surperformance, OC 49 €) et adoptons une opinion plus prudente sur...
For the start of 2026, we have selected ten charts to identify the sector's main drivers. Capex is expected to fall by 1.5% in 2026 after a 70% rebound from the low point of 2020. This reduction will mainly come from the US market (greater discipline due to higher breakeven points). At this point in the year, we prefer SBM Offshore (Outperform, target price € 45), Vallourec (Outperform, target price € 22 vs € 20.8) and Technip Energies (Outperform, target price € 49) and have adopted a more caut...
We refresh our ING Benelux Favourites list. We apply a fundamental bottom up approach in which we select stocks which provide the best upside within our Benelux coverage universe and these stocks need clear catalysts. Additions/deletions: We add the following names to the ING Benelux Favourites list: Ageas: Ageas has done multiple deals; its most recent purchase of the 25% stake BNP Paribas had in its Belgian ops, is an accretive deal and we believe makes the Belgian operations ready for a pot...
Last Friday evening, Belgian newspaper De Tijd reported that Vioneo has halted plans for a €1.5bn green plastics plant in the Port of Antwerp. The project will instead be developed in China. Vioneo focuses on new technology to produce plastics without fossil feedstocks. The Maersk subsidiary had selected Antwerp in 2024 for its first large scale facility, designed to produce 300,000 tonnes of “green plastic” annually. The Vioneo plant was planned for the former Gunvor refinery site, a brownfield...

Performance on the front page is dated from the 19 September 2025, while historical performance is included on the second page.

The tariff war has eased, but with Trump, uncertainty has become a guarantee. While the macro-economic impact has been limited so far, the prolonged situation could still result in significant and long-lasting economic damage. We are maintaining a defensive stance in our Benelux Dynamic Top Pick List. The Federal Reserve (FED) has started its easing cycle, but the final amount of interest rate cuts is uncertain. The European Central Bank (ECB) has now largely completed its interest rate cutting ...
