Alfen/Near-term outlook remains clouded/HOLD
Alfen reported broadly in line 1H25 results and maintained its 2025 outlook but lowered its 2026 revenue growth and adjusted its EBITDA margin guidance. As a result, we cut our FY26F revenue estimate by c.4% and our FY26F EBITDA estimate by around 16%.

Fastned/Discharged momentum/HOLD
In our view Fastned reported disappointing 1H25 results. We mainly make downward adjustments to our charging volume estimates for the coming years. We increase our pricing estimates beyond 2025, partially offsetting lower volumes. We slightly increase our long-term (post 2030) estimates, resulting in our DCF-driven target price of €20 (unchanged), and we reiterate our HOLD rating.
