With 2 changes in our Dynamic Top Pick list (we add Azelis and we remove Solvay) we maintain a defensive stance on the market for 2H24. The long anticipated interest rate cuts by central banks have finally started. The Trump election victory in the US does not bode well for European stocks as he favours a protectionist course. Although industrial companies with a US base could actually benefit. Cleantech names with exposure to the US could also suffer (unless owned by E.Musk). We expect the US ...

Fugro: Unexpected sales decline in US and Middle East. Kinepolis: US Peer Cinemark 3Q24 results beat on strong spending. Universal Music Group: 3Q24 reasonable, 2H24 €400m M&A cash out will hurt
3Q revenue growth accelerated to 6% on a like for like basis, with revenue of € 156.6m slightly above our and consensus forecasts. Recticel reiterated its FY guidance of around € 50m adjusted EBITDA.

(croissance annuelle moyenne du RN de 15%e entre 2023 et 2027) qui ne nous semble pas pleinement intégré par le consensus à ce stade (estimation ODDO BHF 1%-5% > au css. La valorisation actuelle du ...

The group presents medium- to long-term growth potential in terms of its activity (strengthened by the acquisition of a stake in Ancala) and improvement to its profitability (an average annual increase in net income of 15% between 2023 and 2027) which does not appear to be fully factored in by the consensus for the time being (ODDO BHF estimate some 1-5% above the consensus). Therefo...
