Bank Brunch/ABN AMRO new targets
ABN AMRO (ABNANV) outlined new financial targets for 2028 this morning. One of the main angles is the cost base and the substantial expected headcount reductions, following the integration of HAL and eventually NIBC. Regarding capital the new targets would entail at least 235bp headroom to MDA trigger levels. We consider the cost targets as ambitious and that they should support efficiency metrics going forward. That being said, reaching the return on equity target could come eventually with a l...

Bekaert Model update – Cash is king
We lowered our forecasts following the FY25 underlying EBIT margin guidance adjustment (from an 8-8.5% range to c. 8%), whilst welcoming the return to positive volume growth in 3Q. Bekaert has been struggling to grow recently as many of its important end markets (like automotive & construction) are inherently mature whilst some of the growth areas have not been living up to expectations (e.g. green hydrogen). Management is also looking at M&A to accelerate growth, but sizeable M&A is having a to...

Basic-Fit VAT from 6% to 12% on sports in Belgium
Yesterday, the Belgian federal government announced an agreement on the federal budget, which includes raising VAT on sports subscriptions from 6.0% to 12.0%. The BeNeLux region remains Basic-Fit's key profit driver, delivering a 46.5% EBITDA less rent margin in 1H25 compared to 12.0% across its other markets. For Belgium, we forecast FY25 revenue of approximately €250 million and underlying EBITDA less rent of €115 million. If the additional 6.0% VAT is absorbed without price adjustments, this ...

Autolus Upping our Aucatzyl sales estimates in r/r ALL
Last week, Autolus reported 3Q25 results. Autolus reported 3Q25 sales of $21.1m, bringing the total for 9M25 to $51m. In our launch preview published in January 2025, we estimated Aucatzyl could generate $43m in FY25 sales vs. $37m CSS estimate. Ours and CSS initial estimates turned out to be conservative given that Aucatzyl generated $51m in 9M25. As such, we increase our Aucatzyl FY25 sales estimate in the US to $72.5m, and increase our peak market share to 50% (from 40%) supported by strong i...

VGP Model update, recurrent EPS increases with pipeline acceleration
At the 10m25 update, VGP gave optimistic guidance on its pipeline and JV closings as it completes projects over 2H25 and 1H26. VGP differs from most REITS due to its JV-structure. Initially it develops for its own portfolio and recycles the capital afterwards by selling into a JV. Hence, VGP realises valuation gains in 2 stages. First, at the start of the asset construction as an unrealised gain estimated by experts (not included in EPRA EPS). Secondly, as the asset is transferred to a JV on the...

Switch on the Robots Automation and Energy Investments in Logistic/Ind...
Automation and Energy investments increase the value per sqm of landbank. Tenants are inclined to sign longer lease contracts to protect their significant investments. We expect to see more large warehouse automation projects over the next 12-18 months as the ROI increases thanks to technological innovations. The decision process seems to take longer due to the size of the investments. We believe the logistic segment offers an interesting investment opportunity. WDP trades at only 3% premium...

Bekaert FIRST LOOK: 3Q sales -1% LFL, FY EBIT margin guidance adjusted...
3Q revenue declined by 1% on a like for like basis and came in slightly below our and consensus figures, whilst volumes were up 3%. Bekaert adjusted FY25 uEBIT margin guidance from an 8.0-8.5% range to around 8.0%, which compares to our and consensus forecasts of respectively 8.4% and 8.3%. Whilst the current momentum gives not much to cheer about, we continue to believe valuation is absolutely undemanding at a P/E26e of c. 7% and double digits free cash flow yields, which allow Bekaert to conti...
