1Q24 sales decreased 5.3% to € 993m, or 3.2% below CSS expectations driven by soft results in N-A. Although the 1Q24 adj. EBIT of € 62.1m came in below expectations (kbcse: € 71.6m, css: € 69.7m), we want to highlight that the adj. EBIT was impacted by € 7.7m in M&A costs related to the Staci acquisition. Excluding this effect, profitability was in line with expectations driven by solid cost savings in E-logistics. Additionally, bpost mentioned that it does not expect any restructuring costs in ...

>Top-line pressures and one-off costs - Bpost experienced pressure on both its Q1 24 revenues as well as its operating earnings. Group operating income (i.c. revenue) for the quarter came in at € 993m and adjusted EBIT at € 62m, respectively -3% and -11% vs. ccs, and -6% and -3% vs. our estimates. Bpost’s results continue to be driven by (a slowing) Belgium and E-Logistics Eurasia, while E-Logistics NA performed poorly once again due to challenging market conditions. ...
• The Q1-24 REBIT was somewhat below expectations, mainly on higher corporate costs. No concrete FY24 guidance as not all negotiations on press distribution are finalized yet and impact is still unclear.• The planned acquisition of Staci can strategically be justified, but in our view it looks stretched financially, both on multiple paid and on resulting leverage. • Although multiples appear undemanding, we stick to Hold. There are still many uncertainties.

In this May edition of our Dynamic Top Pick List we replace Arcadis by Fugro. Arcadis continues to deliver consistently on its promises and is working hard to realise its 2026 margin targets via cross selling, leveraging its global engineering platform and numerous self-help measures. In spite of this we remove Arcadis from our Dynamic Top Pick List as the recent & strong share price performance leaves little room for further short term triggers As a service provider to the energy industry, Fu...
Wolters Kluwer reported a 1Q24 trading update slightly ahead of our expectations. Overall organic revenue growth was inline with our estimates, and we see strong performance across the company's largest divisions Health and Tax & Accounting offset slightly lower-than-expected growth in Corporate Performance & ESG. We make minor adjustments to our estimates and keep our BUY and €170 target price.
Wolters Kluwer reported a limit trading update highlighting some top line figures. WKL has a good start to the year despite some challenging environments and difficult comparables in some segments. FY24 guidance provided last quarter has been reiterated today. If WKL continues this strong growth trajectory, supported by solid margins, we believe our estimate are likely to end up too conservatively.

L’offre de BHP sur Anglo American a confirmé l’intérêt des minières pour le cuivre dans un contexte de tensions croissantes sur la production et de difficultés à faire aboutir les projets. Les perspectives d’Anglo (Neutre) dans le cuivre sont désormais mieux valorisées, c’est aussi le cas de BHP (Neutre vs Sous-performance) mais pas encore assez, selon nous, sur Rio Tinto (Surperformance vs Neutre). En aval, Nexans et Montana Aerospace sont nos valeurs préférées (Surperformance) vs Au...
