After its strong share price performance (+82% LTM), the Q3 report, Q4 outlook and updated financial targets were not the short-term catalysts we were looking for to take the investment case to the next level. The high proposed DPS and buybacks are supportive, and we see unutilised ‘financial muscle’ for the future. We still like the group’s leading Nordic footprint, operating profile and FCF capacity, and reiterate our BUY and SEK80 target price.
The outcome of the US presidential election hangs in the balance, but the momentum seems to be with Donald Trump since the beginning of October: the candidate is now in the lead in six of the seven swing states, has just overtaken Kamala Harris in the national vote while 63% of punters are tipping him to win. 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,...
Le scrutin présidentiel US reste incertain, mais le momentum semble être du côté de Donald Trump depuis début octobre : le candidat est désormais en tête dans 6 des 7 swing states, vient de dépasser Kamala Harris dans le vote national et est donné gagnant à 63% chez les parieurs. Nous rappelons les valeurs européennes à privilégier ou à éviter en cas de victoire de Donald Trump, et avons également listé les valeurs européennes ayant une base de production aux US, par nature moins expo...

Bystronic est un groupe suisse spécialisé dans les machines de découpe laser et de pliage, avec un business model hybride entre vente d’équipements, services récurrents et logiciels. Alors que ses commandes pâtissent d’un momentum difficile depuis plusieurs trimestres, nous n’anticipons pas d’amélioration au S2 et la visibilité reste réduite pour 2025. En parallèle, le plan de restructuration initié cette année devrait surtout être visible à compter du S1 2025. Dans ce contexte, Bystr...

Q2 was solid, benefiting from a solid Nordic hotel market and seeing good demand and bookings ahead of the Q3 high season; however, the in-line report translated into only minor forecast changes. With its strong financials, we see opportunities for growth initiatives and capital allocation. We expect a more eventful H2, with the likely upcoming convertible bond conversion to be offset by share buybacks, and the still-low valuation implying an attractive risk/reward. We reiterate our BUY and have...
