Dynamic Top Pick List Update May 2024 : Adding Fugro, Removing Arcadis
In this May edition of our Dynamic Top Pick List we replace Arcadis by Fugro. Arcadis continues to deliver consistently on its promises and is working hard to realise its 2026 margin targets via cross selling, leveraging its global engineering platform and numerous self-help measures. In spite of this we remove Arcadis from our Dynamic Top Pick List as the recent & strong share price performance leaves little room for further short term triggers As a service provider to the energy industry, Fu...

UCB Model update: UCB's five growth drivers into the next decade
UCB is entering a next stage of growth as it turns the page on the loss of exclusivity of several of its mature assets. The new chapter will focus strongly on five growth drivers: Bimzelx, Rystiggo, Zilbrysq, Fintepla and Evenity. Jointly, these assets could deliver significant topline growth and margin improvements in the coming years. We have conducted an extensive update of our model to incorporate these new dynamics. Our DCF-based valuation points to a fair value of € 143 per share (previous...

UCB Bimzelx launch tracker
Our Bimzelx launch tracker tool keeps an eye on the ongoing commercialization of Bimzelx in the US by looking at total prescriptions (TRx). Our latest figure for week 22 points to 898 TRx, down 2% versus last week's result, and up 11% on a 4-week rolling basis. Altogether, we see a smooth ramp-up for Bimzelx in its first months since launch.

Quest For Growth - Q1-24: No dividend yet
Q1-24 NAV came in at EUR 7.44 p/s but already pre-announced.Loss of EUR -1.4m in Q1, despite a strong performance of the listed portfolio, implies that QfG still needs to recover about EUR 7.7m or ~+5.5% before it can pay out a dividend.We estimate today's NAV to be EUR 7.44 p/s, implying an elevated discount of 38.5%. Unfortunately, QfG's discount is highly dependent on whether it can pay out a dividend. At the moment, this does not yet seem to be in the cards and hence we expect it t...

Retail Estates Out of Town stands its ground in an online world
In recent decades, OOT stores have become an integral part of the BE/NL retail sector ranging from large supermarkets to specialized retail chains. Traffic congestion around retail parks and the negative impact on inner city retail have become concerns, but OOT stores and retail parks remain a popular shopping destination. They withstood the e-commerce acceleration during COVID. In this note we discuss how the OOT segment adapted to the new online reality and managed to maintain high occupancy r...

Dynamic Top Pick List Update April 2024: Adding TINC
We continue our KBC Securities Dynamic Top Pick List with a 50/50 cyclical/defensive selection, but with a focus on value stocks that have been left behind. Defensive segment like holdings are overweight. However, in the Benelux we have a selection of cyclical industrials at cheap valuations that have often underperformed the market. We favour Benelux value stocks as even a mild recession typically hits growth stocks proportionally harder. We notice that some stocks have been hit hard by minor s...
