Saltchuk a privately held US group active in freight transport, marine services and energy distribution, has agreed to acquire Great Lakes Dredge & Dock Corp (GLDD), an US offshore energy and dredging contractor often viewed as a peer to DEME due to its similar infrastructure-focused marine activities. The deal values Great Lakes at $1.2bn equity and $1.5bn transaction value, with Saltchuk offering US$17.00 per share in cash—a 25% premium to the company's 90-day VWAP and above its all-time hig...
We updated our model (New “Accumulate”, New € 5.1 TP) after Biotalys plans a strategic refocus, concentrating resources on its top-priority biofungicide programs. Early-stage activities will be suspended and the organization downsized to cut costs while they claim “protecting long-term platform value”. The shift prioritizes Evoca NG, BioFun-6, and already partnered programs with the Gates Foundation and Syngenta. These measures aim to reduce cash burn by €20m through 2028 and strengthen commerci...
We will update our model (from “Buy” to “under review”) after Biotalys plans a strategic refocus, concentrating resources on its top-priority biofungicide programs.

The shift prioritizes EVOCA NG, BioFun-6, and already partnered programs with the Gates Foundation and Syngenta.

Xior reported solid operational FY25 results. We remain very supportive of the excellent organic trends: LFL rental growth of +5.4% over FY25, which is expected to reach a minimum of +4% over 2026-27F, still outperforming the broader real estate space. The 4% EPS growth guidance for 2026 and 2027 is strong and we think this is a realistic expectation. LTV is at 49.9% and this limits growth options. Over the next two years the group focus will be on rental growth, operational leverage and the exe...
After today's changes (ASMi out, UCB in), we maintain a balanced approach in our Dynamic Top Pick List, with a particular emphasis on value stocks that have been overlooked. Our defensive holdings are overweight, including real estate, which stands to benefit from lower interest rates. We remove ASMi from our Dynamic Top Pick List as the recent share price performance has driven the valuation meaningfully ahead of fundamentals. Since early December, FY27 diluted EPS expectations have risen by a...
Nous avons sélectionné 10 graphiques afin d’identifier les principaux drivers du secteur. Les Capex sont attendus en repli de 1.5% en 2026 après un rebond de 70% depuis le point bas de 2020. Cette baisse proviendra essentiellement du marché US (plus forte discipline compte tenu de points morts plus élevés). Nous privilégions SBM Offshore (Surperformance, OC 45 €), Vallourec (Surperformance, OC 22 € vs 20.8 €) et Technip Energies (Surperformance, OC 49 €) et adoptons une opinion plus prudente sur...
For the start of 2026, we have selected ten charts to identify the sector's main drivers. Capex is expected to fall by 1.5% in 2026 after a 70% rebound from the low point of 2020. This reduction will mainly come from the US market (greater discipline due to higher breakeven points). At this point in the year, we prefer SBM Offshore (Outperform, target price € 45), Vallourec (Outperform, target price € 22 vs € 20.8) and Technip Energies (Outperform, target price € 49) and have adopted a more caut...
