Yesterday, the German government (via KfW) secured a 25.1% "blocking minority" in TenneT's German operations. The €3.3bn deal ends years of negotiations between Germany and the Netherlands. The deal is struck at the same equity value following the capital contribution (46%) from ABP, GIC and Norges Bank in 09/25 at a total equity value of 13.3bn. TenneT NL will hold the remaining 28.9%. We understand from the Handelsblatt that KfW will invest an additional €1.7bn before 2035. TenneT GE will no...
We upgrade our recommendation to Accumulate and raise our price target to €135.0 from €110.0 on multiple expansion over the next 6 to 12 months. We leave our EPS estimates for FY26-27 unchanged, but increase our price target to 22x FY27 EPS. Our previous target was based on 20x FY26 EPS, but we roll forward on a 10% higher multiple as the sentiment towards grid operators benefits from the “wall of money” into datacenters, while grid connection is the bottleneck. It can take years before the ROE ...
We reiterate our BUY rating on Colruyt but lower our target price from €44 to €38 following Colruyt's 1H25/26F results, which came in below expectations at the operating profit level.

We expect Sunday openings as of January 2026, as well as a strong price position in Belgium to benefit top-line growth over the next eig...

Although Colruyt already flagged during the AGM that the operating result in 1H25/26 would be lower, the -15.8% EBIT decline in 1H25/26 to € 213m came in below our estimates (kbcse: € 230m). While Colruyt still banks on a stable operating result and net profit for FY25/26, the group did highlight that the situation has become more complicated following the ongoing price and promo pressure, increased Sunday openings, abolition of the mandatory closing day and uneven level playing field in labour ...
