We have downgraded Mo-BRUK (MBR) to HOLD (from Buy), having reduced our 12-month price target (PT) to PLN 321 (vs. PLN 393 previously), which offers a limited 11% potential upside. We have cut our 2025-27E adjusted EBITDA forecasts by 13-16%, on the back of our lower profitability assumptions, given the higher cost pressure than assumed previously (mostly external services and salaries), as well as weaker revenue in the solidification and stabilisation segment. While we expect 2H25E to be visibl...

Noval has reported good results, with a decent chance of the FFO exceeding the company's guidance for the year, in our view. With the net LTV at 20% and cash exceeding EUR 50m, we believe that Noval should try to: 1) streamline its portfolio via the disposal of small, non-core assets; and 2) accelerate the development of its land reserves. This would improve the portfolio quality, the recurring income, and the ROE, in our view.

Brent crude oil prices declined USD 2.4/bbl vs. the previous month, to USD 67.2/bbl, due to OPEC+ quota increases. In July, OPEC production hit its highest level, again, since November 2023. Our benchmark margin fell by USD 1.7/bbl in August, to USD 12.6 /bbl, but is still very high. Most petrochemicals margins weakened further.

On Friday (29 August), Sphera reported its 2Q25 results, and held a webcast to discuss them. Sphera’s 2Q25 saw a soft set of results, due to: i) consumer weakness, fuelled by the ongoing political and economic uncertainty in Romania; ii) the 23% minimum wage hike; and iii) higher taxation.
