Post-FY 2024, we have cut our FY 2025-27e sales / EBITDA / FCF by 2% / 12% / >6% respectively to reflect a softer-than-expected 2024 landing. Our updated estimates still point to net debt and a gross cash covenants breach from late 2026 with the same old concern around the stock: the dilution ri
France has become a house of cards with three unaddressed topics that the market forgot too quickly (overstated price repositioning, unresolved franchising crisis and deteriorating lease-management model). With such a low share price, rising shareholder anger, an ongoing strategic review, mounting
Aside from the EUR189.5m provision related to the FCA, which complicated interpretation of the FY24 net income performance, we struggle to explain the sharp negative market reaction yesterday (-8%), particularly as management struck an optimistic tone on key topics such as tariffs, FX, PFAS, and th
Final FY24 results of Groupe SEB are broadly in line with expectations. FY ORfA was up 10.5% to EUR802m (CSSe median: EUR802m), consistent with the company's guidance of "around +10% YoY" unveiled last month. Ahead of the management presentation scheduled today at 10:30pm (CET), Groupe SEB guides f

This morning, Prosus and JET announced that they have agreed on a recommended all cash off for 100% of JET shares at a price € 20.30 ps, or the equivalent of € 4.1bn. The acquisition represents a 63% premium to Friday's closing price and 49% premium over the 3-month VWAP. Board members holding shares and CEO Jitse Groen, who represent 8.1% of the shares, have committed to tender their shares in the offer. Overall, we believe the offer makes sense as JET's EU market exposure is complementary to ...
With Prosus acquiring Just Eat Takeaway (as detailed in our other note on Just Eat Takeaway), M&A activity in the European food delivery sector is set to pick up. While timing considerations of a potential Delivery Hero delisting by Prosus remain uncertain, we prefer to bet on a closer acquisit
