We reiterate our HOLD rating on Ahold Delhaize but increase our target price from €29 to €32 on the back of higher mid-to-long term sales expectations and a lower WACC. We continue to see limited short-term catalysts for the group, although we note that the company will lap easier comps than in 1H. On the other hand, management stated during its CMD that potential margin gains, especially in the US, will be re-invested in growth, in line with the new ‘Growing Together' programme. At our target p...

The Stoxx 600 gained just 1.1% in July after shedding 1.3% in June, driven by the SMI (+2.5%) and the Footsie 100 (+2.7%). With business sentiment indicators continuing to weaken, defensive stocks outperformed cyclicals in July, and many healthcare stocks were among the best performers of the Stoxx 600. Long-term interest rates have fallen sharply (probably too much), but this has not benefited tech and luxury goods stocks, penalised by their disappointing results publications. - ...
