With 2 changes in our Dynamic Top Pick list (we add Azelis and we remove Solvay) we maintain a defensive stance on the market for 2H24. The long anticipated interest rate cuts by central banks have finally started. The Trump election victory in the US does not bode well for European stocks as he favours a protectionist course. Although industrial companies with a US base could actually benefit. Cleantech names with exposure to the US could also suffer (unless owned by E.Musk). We expect the US ...

We recap in the present note on the European stocks to play or avoid in the event of Donald Trump's victory and have also listed European stocks with a production base in the US,...

We upgrade Colruyt to BUY and increase our target price from €36 to €52. We believe Colruyt's current discount to peers is unwarranted, especially given its healthy balance sheet and potential superior EBIT growth thanks to a rebound in profitability for its Retail division. We flag that Colruyt Lowest Prices (c.65% of group sales) is a unique player in the Food Retail segment and has a best-in-class EBIT margin. With a recovery in its key format, we expect Colruyt to post an EBIT CAGR of 6.3% o...
