Digi has reported a solid set of Q1 numbers vs expectations: Both SR and EBITDA growth rates are slower, but remain impressive. A launch in Portugal has been pushed back to H2 (same timing as for Belgium) and no further details were given on the launch particulars. We remain unconvinced that Digi can build NPV positive businesses in either market, but we think it will launch in both, with all the associated costs– indeed, Digi upped capex guidance for 2024 to €650m-€700m from €650m. This drag to...

Last week, WOOD held its second annual symposium in Istanbul (hosting the C-level management of 12 BIST-listed bluechips), which was highly appreciated by both investors and corporates. Overall, sentiment was consistent with our recent pre-elections trip report (followed by our report concerning the elections). The transition towards a more orthodox macroeconomic framework appears both credible and convincing, in terms of the measures implemented, in our view. In the paragraphs below, we focus o...
As food deflation risks increasingly diverge from one market to another, we take a fresh look at local price war risks and at the sector earnings cycle. We remain puzzled by the YTD sector derating and underperformance while FY 2024-25 expected EPS growth is still strong. Many investors seem to be

BHP's bid for Anglo American has confirmed interest from miners in copper in the context of increasingly challenged production and difficulties in fully completing projects. Anglo’s (Neutral) prospects in copper are now better valued and this is also the case for BHP (Neutral vs Underperform) although not so for Rio Tinto (Outperform vs Neutral). Downstream, Nexans and Montana Aerospace are our Top Picks (Outperform) vs Aurubis, Rexel and Prysmian (Neutral). - ...
L’offre de BHP sur Anglo American a confirmé l’intérêt des minières pour le cuivre dans un contexte de tensions croissantes sur la production et de difficultés à faire aboutir les projets.

En aval, Nexans et Montana Aerospace sont nos valeurs préférées (Surperformance) vs Au...
>Calendar and FX certainly help but let’s not overlook the volume-driven underlying growth - Sales grew at a pace of +19% y-o-y to € 8.1bn (vs +17% in Q4) with the group’s l-f-l expanding at +6% (vs +10% in Q4). By business, Biedronka sales grew +19% to € 5.8bn, accelerating vs Q4 (+19%) helped by the calendar effect (3pp) and the FX (8pp). L-f-L only deteriorated 50bp q-o-q to 4.6% which is remarkable in a disinflationary context and proves right Biedronka’s volume-d...
With Q1 topping expectations in terms of both sales and EBITDA, notably thanks to Biedronla, we foresee a positive share price reaction this morning. But reiterated gloomy FY guidance combined with no early signs of the price war easing in Poland still suggests caution is advisable.
