Ontex - Earnings Flash - FY 2025 Results - Lucror Analytics

Ontex has released weak FY 2025 results. The company downgraded its guidance twice in the year, due to soft demand amid weak consumer sentiment, high promotional activity from A brands and supply-chain constraints, as well as increases in raw-material costs. Meanwhile, H2 was more challenging than management's initial expectations. Looking ahead, Ontex anticipates that market conditions will remain soft. That said, management is optimistic that performance will improve gradually through the year...

Ontex [FY25 EBITDA at low end of guidance, FY26 guidance of +10% EBITD...

4Q adjusted EBITDA dropped by 32% while FY25 adjusted EBITDA landed at 175.6m, which is at the low end of the € 175-180m guidance given at the time of the profit warning in December. FY26 guidance calls for a 10% increase in adjusted EBITDA to c. € 193m which is about 2% below our and consensus forecasts. We remind that Ontex recently decided to accelerate its CEO transition plan with Mr Nielly, previously President of Ontex Europe, having been appointed as the new CEO already in the course of J...

WDP/Deep dive into the 2030 plan/BUY

WDP's FY25 results were fully in line but the company surprised in already revealing its 2030 targets. We like such long-term visibility combined with very clear targets: €500m of yearly capex that can be auto-financed, delivering a +6% CAGR. WDP now has pan-European ambitions and aims to establish a presence in Italy and Spain. While the company has not delivered on its entrance into Germany, we think that opening itself to new countries is the right ambition to have at this stage. The plan loo...

Dynamic Top Pick List Update February 2026: Removing ASMi; Adding UCB

After today's changes (ASMi out, UCB in), we maintain a balanced approach in our Dynamic Top Pick List, with a particular emphasis on value stocks that have been overlooked. Our defensive holdings are overweight, including real estate, which stands to benefit from lower interest rates. We remove ASMi from our Dynamic Top Pick List as the recent share price performance has driven the valuation meaningfully ahead of fundamentals. Since early December, FY27 diluted EPS expectations have risen by a...
