As expected, US equities welcomed Donald Trump's victory, while European stock markets reacted negatively, also weighed down two days later by a further disappointment on China's stimulus plan. Our sector strategies and baskets of Trump stocks (long or short) have paid off, with a few exceptions that may provide investment opportunities, like Total Energies or Repsol. In Europe, we are maintaining our Underweight recommendation on the Basic Resources, Chemicals, Luxury Goods and Autom...
Comme prévu, les actions américaines ont salué la victoire de Donald Trump tandis que les bourses européennes accusaient le coup, également lestées deux jours plus tard par une nouvelle déception sur le plan de relance chinois. Nos stratégies sectorielles et paniers de valeurs Trump (long ou short) ont fonctionné, avec quelques exceptions qui peuvent être des opportunités d’investissement, à l’instar de Total Energies ou Repsol. En Europe, nous conservons notre opinion Sous-pondérer s...
>Conclusion: New SBB, higher OCG, more cash return clarity, sales was less - It was positive that Aegon announced a new € 150m SBB which we expected, but not all in the market was expecting this we believe. And related to that it is good Aegon announced now to bring the cash at holding down from about est. € 1.66bn end 2024 to about € 1bn end 2026 giving up to € 0.9bn discretionary cash for e.g. new SBB’s over 2025-2026. The Q3 OCG capital generation was better than e...
Swiss-based Accelleron was formed from the spin-off of ABB’s highly profitable turbocharger division in 2022. We view the share as a promising investment on 1/ market leadership in an attractive niche, 2/ about ~40% ROCE, 3/ conversion of ~80% of EBITDA into cash, leading to fast deleveraging, and a solid base for shareholder remuneration (75% pay out), and 4/ strong long-term visibility linked to a ~75% service share, the bulk of which is recurring. Despite an already strong stock pe...
>Conclusion: New SBB, Q3 OCG better, higher OCG target, Q3 sales was less - It was positive that Aegon announced a new € 150m SBB which we expected, but not all in the market was expecting this we believe. And related to that it is good Aegon announced now to bring the cash at holding down from about est. € 1.7bn end 2024 to about € 1bn end 2026 giving more room for new SBB’s. The Q3 OCG capital generation was better than expected. The Solvency was marginally less. Th...

Aalberts: Building already bottoming, industry tough. Air France-KLM: Nobody helps. Alfen: Covenant agreement, hikes output Smart Grid. AMG: Sweet for 2024F, sour for 2025F. ArcelorMittal: 3Q24 EBITDA beats by 6%, FCF solid. BAM: 3Q beats, on its way to reach FY guidance. CMB.TECH: 3Q and FY24 reasonable but then more challenges. D'Ieteren: EGM and dividend dates announced; Belron US peer Boyd disappointing 3Q24. GBL: Double-digit TSR expected over 2024-27F. KBC: 3Q better acro...
mdxhealth reported 3Q24 revenue growth of 21% y/y, while management upgraded FY24 guidance to $ 87-89m (previously $ 85-87m) reflecting increased confidence in utilisation from healthcare providers. The goal to reach positive adjusted EBITDA by 1H25 remains on track, and now starts to come into view, while management guided for 20% topline growth for FY25. We reiterate our $ 4.2 TP and Buy rating.
Alfen published Q3 2024 figures yesterday. Revenue came in at EUR106m (-18% QoQ vs. EUR129m in Q2 2024, -22% YoY vs. EUR136m in Q3 2023) pointing to EUR352m YTD (vs. cons. eyeing EUR489m for FY24). Q3 numbers were mostly impacted by modest revenue growth in Smart Grids (+1% YoY) and a sluggish pace
>Q3 better than consensus FY24 outlook slightly weaker = weaker Q4 - Revenues in-line, with strength in Smart Grids offsetting weakness in EV Charging. Revenues in 24Q3 were down 22% y-o-y to € 106.2m (1% below consensus of € 107.4m) with Smart Grid Solutions up 1% to € 50.3m (14% above consensus of € 44.3m), EV Charging Equipment down 6% to € 32.9m (14% below consensus of € 38.3m), and Energy Storage Systems down 55% to € 23.1m (consensus € 23.5m).

With 2 changes in our Dynamic Top Pick list (we add Azelis and we remove Solvay) we maintain a defensive stance on the market for 2H24. The long anticipated interest rate cuts by central banks have finally started. The Trump election victory in the US does not bode well for European stocks as he favours a protectionist course. Although industrial companies with a US base could actually benefit. Cleantech names with exposure to the US could also suffer (unless owned by E.Musk). We expect the US ...
