CFE/An early-stage margin-over-volume winner?/BUY (previously Hold)
CFE released a solid set of FY25 results, partly helped by the earlier announced settlement on the problematic ZIN project. With this beefed up 2H25 operating performance, we consider CFE's 2026 outlook a major positive. CFE expects 2026 net profit to approach the 2025 level. We raise our FY26F EPS by 32% following company guidance and change our rating from Hold to BUY as the underlying operating performance is clearly improving. CFE adapted a margin-over-volume strategy a couple of years ago a...

GBL After delivering a solid recovery we expect momentum to moderate
GBL has reached our previous price target following its consistent performance since the Apr'25 Liberation Day low. Over this period, the discount compressed sharply from 45% to 22%, driven by visible strategy progress, growing recognition of unique private market access, and €335m share buybacks in FY25. The recent Rayner acquisition (€0.5bn for 45% co-control stake) marks the first clear execution of GBL's Nov'24 strategy to increase direct private asset exposure in priority sectors. It streng...

CFE FY25: In line results, solid debt reduction, margin strength in Co...
Over FY25, revenues equalled €1042m (-12% YoY) but EBIT up sharply at €44.9m (+40.3% YoY). The net result stood at €33.5m (LY: €24m). As such, the posted net result exceeds guidance calling for 2025 net profit close to the 2024 level. The company proposed a gross dividend of €0.50ps (€0.4PS LY). The consolidated order book stood at €1633m (vs. €1646m LY and €1650m per 9m25). Thanks to strong OCF of €64m, net debt turned into a net cash position of €43.8M (€41.7m net debt LY) . For 2026, CFE expe...

Cofinimmo FY25 results above expectations, guidance below
Cofinimmo reports recurring EPRA EPS +1,1% above our estimates and 4,0% above its guidance. The earnings beat is driven by higher like-for-like rental income at +2,9%. The EPRA EPS outlook of FY26 is below our estimates at € 6,35 vs € 6,39 KBCSe. The guided debt ratio at YE26 is 340 bps higher than our expectations at 44,0% due to only € 110,0m guided asset disposals and higher than expected investments at € 310,0m which will mainly impact FY27/28 rental income. In the medium term, the focus sho...
