Umicore issued an unexpected (qualitative) trading update in which it also reiterated its FY25 adjusted EBITDA guidance range of € 720-780m. Given the uncertain economic outlook, we decided to lower our forecast by 3% to € 734m, closer to the bottom end of the guidance range. We remind that Umicore recently organized a CMD, expressing the ambition to try to monetize past investments in Battery Materials, acknowledging that some additional capex and equity investment into the Ionway JV are still ...
We have updated our model post FY24 reporting and we included the restated segment reporting with Real Estate sales and results now included in Parcels versus in MailNL previously. Note that PostNL guided for an underlying EBIT for FY25F of c.€53m, ie, in line with FY24. We estimate €48m, which is a significant downgrade vs the pre-FY24 results estimate of €98m. We feel that the outlook for FY25 is not without downside risk as (a) much will depend on a strong 4Q as we expect a rather soft start ...

Last week's long awaited strategy update highlighted Umicore's ambition to try to monetize past investments in Battery Materials, acknowledging that some additional capex and equity investment into the Ionway JV are still necessary to achieve this. In the meantime, the company will actively explore partnerships in Battery Materials. The financial targets for Battery Materials were above our expectations and the same can be said for the foundation businesses, particularly Catalysis, which is to b...
Below are some key highlights from yesterday's CMD. We remind that Umicore announced a € 1-1.2bn adjusted EBITDA target for 2028 with the upside vs our € 0.8bn forecast coming from both Battery Materials as well Catalysis, which is guided to further grow share in the LDV market. We will up our forecasts somewhat following the CMD. Even after yesterday's share rebound, valuation seems attractive and we maintain our Accumulate rating and € 12 target price.
Arcadis: Large contract in Resilience. ASM International: Highlights from CFO roadshow. Exor: Exor buying back Exor shares. Fastned: 2H24 results, cost pressure. Flow Traders: February volumes elevated in EMEA. Montea: JV with Weerts in Belgium. Sligro: FY24 results in line, weak 1Q25 outlook. Sofina: Final NAV a tad higher. Umicore: CMD targets – no big bang
At the occasion of the long awaited CMD & Strategy Update, Umicore revealed ambitious targets for 2028. EBITDA28 target stands at €1-1.2bn well above our € 0.8bn estimate. While all divisional targets exceed our estimates the targets for Catalysis stand out most. We remind that Catalysis and to a lesser extent Recycling are facing structural headwinds from the ongoing electrification, whilst still generating top notch cash flow. Taking into account the current distressed valuation, we maintain ...
On 17 December 2024, TKH's share price hit a low of €30.24. On 18 December it became clear that HAL Investments had acquired a 3.5% stake in TKH, and earlier this year HAL's stake rose to 5.2%. The share price stood at €37.48 a day before the FY24 results publication, reflecting a rise of 24%. TKH's results were broadly in line with our and consensus expectations and management expects revenue and EBITA to continue to grow organically in 2025, but warned for a slow 1Q25. The Subsea cable unit is...
