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...

In this September update we added 2 stocks to the KBC Securities Dynamic Top Pick List : We added AB InBev after the share price weakened post-2Q results. ABI's 2Q volumes fell 1.9% organically, below expectations, mainly due to a 9% drop in Brazil where a price hike led to temporary market share loss. However, strong revenue per hl growth (+4.9%) drove a 6.5% organic EBITDA increase, with 1H growth at +7.2%, near the top of FY guidance (+4–8%). AB InBev, the world's largest brewer, generates ...
The AEX is set to expand from 25 to 30 constituents starting on 23rd September, announcement on 9th September after close. This marks a significant change since its last expansion in 1994. The new rule book was published on 22/08/25 and leaves some room for interpretation for companies that have another primary listing (WDP). We believe that WDP meets the requirement for “reference market”. The expansion will be based on Free Float Market Capitalization, with a buffer zone to manage transitions....
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...
Yesterday, Tony De Pauw of the founding family passed away unexpectedly at home. In June 1999, at WDP's IPO, Tony took over the helm from his father Jos De Pauw, founder of WDP. Together with WDP management, he built WDP into a leading European family-rooted logistics platform. Tony stepped down from his role as co-CEO in 2024, a position he had shared with Joost Uwents since 2010. During this time, he remained active as a Board member. On 30/6, the family shareholding declined below 20.0% to 19...
