This morning CMB.TECH issued an update which went unnoticed due to technical issues. We presume the release has to do with the ongoing fixed income investor meetings to refinance (half of) the $1.4bn bridge loan taken out to acquire the stake in Golden Ocean. The update was limited to the publication of TCE rates and confirmed the rumoured sale of the VLCC Dalma (°2007) which resulted in a handsome $27m capital gain. The attractive rate fixtures in the 4Q25 more than make up for the shortfall in...
3Q25 revenue dropped by 10.9%, which was below our forecast of about -1%. Both Europe and US saw revenue decline by double digits, although the drop in the US was only mid single digits when excluding FX effects. 3Q25 adjusted EBITDA was not disclosed but was said to be down y/y, which is not surprising given the weak top line momentum. We have lowered our FY25 and FY26 adjusted EBITDA forecasts by respectively 10% and 8%. Despite the disappointing top line momentum, valuation continues to look ...

On Friday afternoon, news broke—confirming earlier speculation on Thursday—that the IMO has postponed the vote on adopting the Net-Zero Framework by one year. The delay followed intense lobbying against the measures, led by the US and Saudi Arabia. In Friday's vote, 57 countries supported the delay (including the US, China, Panama, and Liberia), while 49 opposed (including most EU member states). The path forward for shipping emissions regulation remains unclear, with renegotiation potentially r...
Seeing that the construction of the Belgian energy island is now progressing well, that the new CEO is acting stricter on cost control, that the demand for new bonds of Elia Transmission Belgium and 50Hertz has remained high at attractive yields, that the German regulator is expected to improve the regulatory rates framework for the next regulatory period, and that the investment fits perfectly in Europe’s ambitions to become less dependent on Russia, we today reiterate our Outperform recommenda...

In this October update of our Dynamic Top Pick List we are removing VGP while adding Shurgard and Wolters Kluwer. Since its recent inclusion in our Dynamic Top Pick List in July-25, VGPs share rose by 10.6%. While we still believe there is significant upside to the share price, we don't see short term catalysts. In fact, the macro picture remains cloudy with the jury still out on the impact of tariffs and the erratic US policy shifts. Also, we are a bit concerned that competition in Western Eur...
Following the publication of D'Ieteren's 1H25 results, we have slightly adjusted our estimates to the downside and currently bank on an FY25 adj. PBT (gs) of € 935m (prev. € 946m). Adjusting for constant exchange rates, our estimates imply a 2.8% growth on a comparable basis, or in line with the group's guidance (slight increase). While our new estimates reflect lower margin assumptions for Belron and TVH Parts, this effect is partially offset by lower financing costs at Belron on the back of fa...
Last week, we published a report in which we propose ideas on the theme of sustainable sovereignty. Technip Energies signed an agreement to acquire the Advanced Materials & Catalysts business of Ecovyst Inc, a global leader in specialty catalysts and advanced materials. The IEA is expected to reintroduce its slow transition scenario, ‘Current Policies’, in its next World Energy Outlook, probably under pressure from the Trump administration. German Chancellor Merz has hinted at a slowdown in the ...

Late August CMB.TECH completed the merger with Golden Ocean which created one of the world's largest diversified listed maritime groups predominantly exposed to dry bulk (56% of GAV) and crude tankers (26% of GAV). Considering the ageing global tanker & bulker fleet, the group boosts an attractive low average vessel age and -thanks to its ongoing NB programme- still has room for further asset disposals while the future-proof vessels hold interesting optionality for low carbon fuel adoption. The ...
