Utilities and offshore wind supply chain sector/Mind the gaps
In this report we present our view on the long-term growth prospects for offshore wind in Europe, implications of the energy transition and the role of TSOs, such as Elia Group. We also focus on supply chain beneficiaries in our Benelux coverage. An increasing number of long-term framework contracts should provide improved risk-rewards to the supply chain, in our view. Furthermore, we take a deep dive into growth drivers and long-term financing for Elia Group, beyond the company's current financ...

Alfen A growth company that doesn't grow
In this note we adjust our estimates as Alfen's 1Q25 results have once again fallen short of expectations. The outlook for the smart grid solutions segment, which was anticipated to be robust, disappointed. Despite investment plans highlighting labour shortages, the impact has been more severe than anticipated. Additionally, gross profit margins dynamics in the smart grid segment are well below our expectations. In the EV charging segment, public demand was low, while increased competition in th...

Alfen/Less appealing than we thought/HOLD (previously Buy)
Alfen has lowered both its FY25 revenue and adjusted EBITDA margin guidance. We cut our FY25F EBITDA estimate by 39%. Our old forecasts aimed at the mid-point of the former revenue guidance and we now aim at the low end of the new revenue guidance. With regards to the adjusted EBITDA margin guidance we aim below the low end of the new guidance as the gross margin mix works against Alfen. We change our recommendation from Buy to HOLD. The two ingredients for our prior bullish view were: (1) Posit...
