Yesterday, we attended Vopak's insightful Capital Markets Day (CMD). Given the publication of our recent company note “The Flow Must Go On” dd.

Following the publication of the FY24 results on Monday, we have slightly tweaked our estimates to the downside, partially driven by the depreciation of the USD and softer sales growth outlook at Belron.

The organic growth in FY24 was driven almost exclusively by record volume growth. We maintain our DCF backed € 10 750 Target Price but -after the recent share price weakness- we increase our rating to Accumulate as the growth strategies of Lotus Biscoff and Lotus Natural Foods will further drive the ambition to become a global top 3 cookie and a leader in the better-for-you ...

D'Ieteren reported good FY24 results, with the adj. PBT (gs) up 9.6% and 12.7% at ccy and excluding the financing impact to € 1065m (kbcse: € 1018m, css: € 1006m).

In this segment note, we want to look beyond the current noise of tariff plans and European deficit spending that has been rocking the logistic segment.
