Growth momentum remains solid, and the publication of Q1 sales bodes well for the future (12.5% organic growth, including 27% for Aerospace). Margins are set to pick up in 2024 (by an estimated 110bp), with the underlying operating profit expected to jump 33%. With good visibility for Aerospace, medium-term potential for Automotive and profitable growth for Medical, we estimate the potential for margin improvement at no less than 500bp in the medium term. We are raising our underlying...
La dynamique de croissance reste solide et la publication du CA T1 est de bon augure (croissance organique de 12.5% dont 27% pour l’Aerospace). 2024 devrait voir un redressement des marges (+110 pb estimés) pour un ROC attendu en hausse de 33%. A l’appui d’une bonne visibilité pour l’aéronautique, d’un potentiel MT pour l’automobile et d’une croissance profitable pour le Médical, nous estimons le potentiel d’amélioration des marges à au moins 500 pb à MT. Nous relevons nos estimations...
>Resilient margins as volume increase offsets lower average prices - Navigator’s results came in line with estimates (EBITDA margin of c.25%) with sales growth (+7% y-o-y, +9% q-o-q) supported by strong volumes (+29% in paper and packaging products y-o-y and +10% q-o-q and c.+20% at pulp on both an annual and quarterly basis) as demand restocking in the uncoated wood free segment continued in Q1 2024 (+1.5% y-o-y apparent demand growth and +10.4% in Europe due to the ...
As food deflation risks increasingly diverge from one market to another, we take a fresh look at local price war risks and at the sector earnings cycle. We remain puzzled by the YTD sector derating and underperformance while FY 2024-25 expected EPS growth is still strong. Many investors seem to be
EME Equity Market – April 2024 Market performance – green across all geographies, with Turkey outperforming.

BHP's bid for Anglo American has confirmed interest from miners in copper in the context of increasingly challenged production and difficulties in fully completing projects. Anglo’s (Neutral) prospects in copper are now better valued and this is also the case for BHP (Neutral vs Underperform) although not so for Rio Tinto (Outperform vs Neutral). Downstream, Nexans and Montana Aerospace are our Top Picks (Outperform) vs Aurubis, Rexel and Prysmian (Neutral). - ...
L’offre de BHP sur Anglo American a confirmé l’intérêt des minières pour le cuivre dans un contexte de tensions croissantes sur la production et de difficultés à faire aboutir les projets.

En aval, Nexans et Montana Aerospace sont nos valeurs préférées (Surperformance) vs Au...
>Calendar and FX certainly help but let’s not overlook the volume-driven underlying growth - Sales grew at a pace of +19% y-o-y to € 8.1bn (vs +17% in Q4) with the group’s l-f-l expanding at +6% (vs +10% in Q4). By business, Biedronka sales grew +19% to € 5.8bn, accelerating vs Q4 (+19%) helped by the calendar effect (3pp) and the FX (8pp). L-f-L only deteriorated 50bp q-o-q to 4.6% which is remarkable in a disinflationary context and proves right Biedronka’s volume-d...
With Q1 topping expectations in terms of both sales and EBITDA, notably thanks to Biedronla, we foresee a positive share price reaction this morning. But reiterated gloomy FY guidance combined with no early signs of the price war easing in Poland still suggests caution is advisable.
