L’année 2026 verra, selon nous, une poursuite de la thématique momentum, aux dépens des styles value et qualité. Nous anticipons une accélération de l’amélioration de la marge (71 pb vs 36 pb en 2025e), tirée par le levier opérationnel, le pricing et la poursuite ou l’intensification des restructurations, ceci dans un environnement de croissance du CA toujours soutenue (5.1%e vs ~4.9% en 2025e). Si quelques dynamiques devraient rester fortes (datacenters, grid, rail, etc), d’autres émergeront (r...
We expect that 2026 will see a continuation of the momentum theme, at the expense of value and quality styles. We expect margin improvement to accelerate (71bp vs 36bp in 2025e), driven by operating leverage, pricing and continued or intensified restructuring, against a backdrop of sustained sales growth (5.1%e vs ~4.9% in 2025e). While some dynamics are likely to remain strong (data centres, grid, rail, etc), others will take shape (Europe residential and US trucks in H2) or accelerate (semicon...
We refresh our ING Benelux Favourites list. We apply a fundamental bottom up approach in which we select stocks which provide the best upside within our Benelux coverage universe and these stocks need clear catalysts. Additions/deletions: We add the following names to the ING Benelux Favourites list: Ageas: Ageas has done multiple deals; its most recent purchase of the 25% stake BNP Paribas had in its Belgian ops, is an accretive deal and we believe makes the Belgian operations ready for a pot...
Moving away from dependence on Asian earnings (now c.30%), while carefully managing its M&A path, we believe AGEAS is well positioned to see an earnings acceleration in the coming years. China upstreams are coming through, while the share price of its Chinese partner CTIH has doubled in 12 months. BNP PARIBAS has increased its stake in the Group (from c.15% to c.23%) at the same time moving out of the Belgian entity AG, and the Belgian government is looking at options to increase its 6.3% stake....
La saison de résultats ne devrait pas apporter de mauvaises surprises concernant la fin 2025 (cf. messages rassurants lors de nos conférences et des pre-close calls) mais les perspectives 2026 devraient rester prudentes face au manque de visibilité. Face à cela, les managements vont à nouveau concentrer leurs efforts sur les leviers internes et l’agilité mais le sentiment sur le secteur pourrait rester fragile à court terme, nous conduisant à maintenir nos estimations prudentes et une approche o...
Earnings season is unlikely to bring any negative surprises for the end of 2025 (cf. the reassuring messages shared during our conferences and pre-close calls). However, the outlook for 2026 is likely to remain cautious given the limited visibility. As a result, management teams are expected to once again concentrate on internal levers and operational agility. Still, sector sentiment should remain fragile in the near term, leading us to maintain our cautious estimates and a stock-picking stance....
