Sphera has reported its 4Q25 results, which were broadly in line with our expectations: the company was able to regain its positive EBITDA dynamics at the end of a cyclically soft year.

On the bottom line, Sphera delivered a 7% yoy drop, but came in 36% above our expectations. The company also held a webcast this morning,...

At its current level of 8x 2026E EBITDA, on our estimates, we see Sphera as fully valued, and we downgrade the name to HOLD (from Buy), with a new price tar...
BRD-GSG is proposing a 50% dividend payout ratio from its 2025 net profit, below the 60% we assumed back in 2025 and implying a c.18% lower DPS for 2025 than we expected (RON 1.11 vs. RON 1.36).
