We refresh our ING Benelux Favourites list. We apply a fundamental bottom up approach in which we select stocks that provide the best (relative) upside within our Benelux coverage universe and these stocks need clear catalysts. Besides this, we screen the ING Benelux coverage on key investment themes that are topical and which provide insights into the relative risk-reward of the individual stocks, which could affect earnings potential and thus a stock's share price performance: (1) we screen ou...
We revise our FY25 and FY26 underlying EBITDA less rent forecasts upward by +3.2% and +1.7%, respectively. Our FY25 estimate now stands at EUR 343.6m, which remains at the lower end of management's guidance range (EUR 330–370m). Importantly, we lower our risk premium following the EUR 350.0m in additional secured bank financing obtained in 1H25. This enhanced liquidity profile and extended maturities reduce refinancing risk and support our confidence in Basic-Fit's capital structure. As a result...

We reiterate our BUY rating but raise our target price from €31.5 to €33.0 while we underline that BFIT remains on the ING Benelux Favourites list. BFIT reported solid 1H25 results with strong membership ingrowth trends in 1Q25/2Q25 and our Google search trend data suggest also ongoing positive momentum into 3Q25. The FCF in 1H25 was somewhat disappointing which for a large part was due to phasing effects. We leave our estimates more or less unchanged and continue to believe our estimates for FY...

NN Group & ASR: Dutch Pension Reform not an issue at 29 October Dutch elections. Philips: 2Q25 results, much lower tariff impact. Proximus: New BICS CEO and Global CRO laid off. Vastned: Good results, EPRA EPS guidance up by 2.5%. Zabka: 2Q25 Preview
Basic-Fit reports 1H25 revenue in line with CSS but misses -5.6% on underlying EBITDA less rent due to higher than expected personnel costs. Personnel costs increased 43% YoY of which 25% is related to opening clubs 24/7. The membership growth is in line with 2Q24 (+40k) and slightly below CSS of +50k despite the management confirming it sees the expected in-growth in the 24/7 clubs. Overheads incl. marketing (11.0%) are ahead of CSS and guidance (11.5-12.%). The full year guidance is reiterated...
We update the performance of our ING Benelux Favourites list as well as all valuation and ranking tables for our coverage universe. Performance on the front page is dated from the 27 January 2025, while historical performance is included on the second page. The methodology for our favourites selection is based on a bottom-up approach with a focus on absolute performance with clear near-term triggers. It is a rolling list, ie, stocks can enter/exit whenever we think opportune. The ING Benelux Fav...
We reiterate our BUY rating but raise our target price from €30.0 to €31.5 while we also underline that BFIT remains on the ING Benelux Favourites list. We expect a strong set of 1H25 results driven by ongoing positive membership ingrowth supported by strong Google search trend data for Spain and France after an already strong 1Q25. We expect further support for the investments in the French 24/7 gym roll-out while we see potential upside to our FY26F estimates based on a change in the staffing ...
