Led by the disappearance of US offshore wind, Fugro continues to suffer from a downturn. We expect a weak second quarter, following the headwinds of the first quarter with lower activity levels combined with a couple of vessels not yet back into service.

The main reason is the higher fleet presence and clients finally proceeding with long-await...
In this report we present our view on the long-term growth prospects for offshore wind in Europe, implications of the energy transition and the role of TSOs, such as Elia Group. We also focus on supply chain beneficiaries in our Benelux coverage. An increasing number of long-term framework contracts should provide improved risk-rewards to the supply chain, in our view. Furthermore, we take a deep dive into growth drivers and long-term financing for Elia Group, beyond the company's current financ...

As the dollar depreciates against the euro, European goods become costlier for American consumers. At the same time, revenues ear...

The ongoing tariff war continues to create uncertainty for investors, with a trade embargo between the US and China. Although Europe has received a temporary reprieve, the prolonged situation could result in significant economic damage. We are maintaining a defensive stance in our Benelux Dynamic Top Pick List, as the Federal Reserve holds steady and the European Central Bank may continue lowering rates. Pessimism regarding the European industry has increased, though some US-based European compa...
