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...

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...

Sligro/FY25 results: Belgium remains a key issue/HOLD

We reiterate our HOLD rating on Sligro but increase our target price from €10.5 to €14.0, reflecting (1) an increase in our 2026 EBITDA forecast and (2) a lower net financial debt thanks to a strong FCF generation in 2H25. Despite these improvements, we remain cautious on the group's FCF generation going forward, as we understand that the strong performance in 2H25 was mainly driven by one-offs amounting to €30m at the working capital level, some of which will revert in FY26. Furthermore, we rem...
