1Q revenue dropped by 4.3%, reflecting weaker demand in Europe against a tough comparable. 1Q adjusted EBITDA declined, due to a lower performance in Europe despite growth in the US. After the weaker than expected 1Q performance, we have lowered our FY25/26 adjusted EBITDA forecasts by c. 5%. Valuation continues to look attractive and prompts us to reiterate our Accumulate rating and € 1.6 target price.
In this April 2025 update of the KBC Securities' Dynamic Top Pick List, we are removing Gimv and adding Adyen. Since adding Gimv to the Dynamic Top Pick List in mid-December 2024, Gimv's performance has remained flat. However, month-to-date, it has increased by nearly 7%, while the indices have all declined. Given the backdrop of a tariff war brewing, we think it's time to remove Gimv from the Dynamic Top Pick List as medium-sized businesses are more likely to feel the pinch of lower demand and...

FY24 revenue declined by 6.8%, reflecting weak market conditions in Europe and to a lesser extent also the US. Further savings and efficiency improvements, combined with positive mix effects, allowed Belysse to increase the adjusted EBITDA margin by almost 4 percentage points to 15.1% with FY24 adjusted EBITDA up by 26%. The better results and limited capex requirements have allowed to bring net debt/adjusted EBITDA (excl IFRS 16 leases) down to 3.1x. We still consider valuation to be compelling...

Although we remain positive on the longer term, we believe most of the short-term revaluation is behind us. Today, we remove Ackermans & van Haaren as the stock just hit an all-time high and crossed...
