Several themes are set to drive the 2024 proxy season, among them the change of voting policy of ISS and a tipping point for climate resolutions. It will also be the last one before the first CSRD reports. Its long-term impact on Boards could also be underestimated. A wave of appointments of specialized sustainability profiles would upset their balance. We identify the AGMs likely to be play the most decisive role for the companies in the medium term: Alstom, Teleperformance, Worldlin...
Plusieurs éléments animeront les assemblées générales 2024 : changement de politique de vote d’ISS, résolutions climat à un tournant… alors que cette saison est la dernière avant les premiers rapports CSRD. Celle-ci pourrait d’ailleurs avoir un impact long terme sous-estimé sur les conseils. Une vague de nominations de profils spécialisés en durabilité bouleverserait leurs équilibres. Nous identifions les AG les plus déterminantes pour la gouvernance des sociétés à moyen terme : Alsto...
>Global sales for February 2024 up +16.4% y-o-y vs +15.5% in January - Worldwide semiconductor sales in February 2024 were published by the WSTS (World Semiconductor Trade Statistics), with the usual one-month lag. On a three-month moving average, sales came to $ 43.6bn, slightly ahead of our forecast of $ 43.2bn. This represents a sequential decline of 3% (usual seasonal effect in February), but a fresh improvement in full-year growth to +16.4%, after +15.5% in Janu...
>Ventes mondiales de février 2024 à +16.4% yoy vs +15.5% en janvier - Les ventes mondiales de semiconducteurs de février 2024 viennent d’être publiés par le WSTS (World Semiconductor Trade Statistics), avec comme toujours, un mois de décalage. En données lissées (moyenne 3 mois), elles ressortent à 43.6 Md$, légèrement au-dessus de notre prévision de 43.2 Md$. Il s’agit d’une baisse en séquentiel de 3% (saisonnalité normale de février), mais d’une nouvelle améliorati...
Le momentum autour de l’électrification, moins favorable dernièrement, a conduit à un changement profond de perception, passant d’un optimisme sans doute excessif à un pessimisme qui le semble tout autant. En effet, si nous avons revu en baisse nos hypothèses, nous visons néanmoins toujours une croissance dans les années à venir (y compris cette année), bien supérieure à celle du marché automobile dans son ensemble. Face à ces changements, tous les acteurs au sein de la chaîne de...
With momentum around electrification less favourable of late, we have seen a major shift in perception, from doubtless overly rose-tinted optimism to what looks to be similarly excessive pessimism. While we have reduced our BEV assumptions, we nonetheless still anticipate growth in the next few years (including this year), well ahead of that of the automotive market as a whole. In the face of these changes, the players in the value chain (mines, semiconductors, auto) are differen...
>Worldwide sales in January 24 at +15.5% y-o-y vs +12.5% in December 23 - Worldwide semiconductor sales for January 2024 were published this weekend by WSTS (World Semiconductor Trade Statistics), with a month’s lag, as usual. As a three-month moving average, they came in at $ 47.6bn (in line with our forecast), or +15.5% y-o-y after 12.5% y-o-y in December. This gives a sequential decline of 2.1%. Continuing sharp improvement in memory segment, automotiv...

FY24 will be a transition year with slower than usual growth due to e.g. inventory corrections, and above-average expansion capexBased on guidance, we cut our sales and earnings estimates for FY24 and beyond, and we pulled some capex forward from FY25 to FY24In response, we lower our TP to EUR 10 (from EUR 12), Buy reiterated
We updated our X-Fab model after the FY23 results. As a result, we lower our Target Price from €12 to € 11. Nevertheless, we think investors were over-reacting as the shortfall in 4Q24 top-line was related to the demand for older 150mm CMOS technologies. Also their explanation for the shortfall in 4Q23 profitability made sense. We maintain our Accumulate rating as X-Fab is still in the sweet spot of the semiconductor market and its expertise in specialty applications for the automotive, indust...
La baisse de l’inflation et de la croissance (en Europe) et – paradoxalement – des taux d’intérêt plus hauts incitent à une reprise du M&A en Europe. Les secteurs qui devraient être les plus actifs sont : la Santé, la Technologie, l’Industrie, les Télécoms et les Utilities/Renouvelables. Nous présentons les perspectives M&A pour l’ensemble des secteurs d’activité et identifions 80 sociétés potentiellement actives (prédatrices, cibles, acquéreuses ou cédantes d’actifs). - ...
Falling inflation and weaker growth (in Europe) and – paradoxically – higher interest rates are driving an upturn in M&A in Europe. The sectors that are expected to be the most active are: healthcare, technology, industry, telecoms and utilities/renewables. We present the M&A outlook for all sectors of activity and identify 80 potentially active companies (predators, targets, buyers or sellers of assets). - ...
