In this April 2025 update of the KBC Securities' Dynamic Top Pick List, we are removing Gimv and adding Adyen. Since adding Gimv to the Dynamic Top Pick List in mid-December 2024, Gimv's performance has remained flat. However, month-to-date, it has increased by nearly 7%, while the indices have all declined. Given the backdrop of a tariff war brewing, we think it's time to remove Gimv from the Dynamic Top Pick List as medium-sized businesses are more likely to feel the pinch of lower demand and...
The 2H24 results provided additional comfort on the North American digital volumes, underlining the total cost of ownership benefit of the Adyen platform and demonstrating the more limited bottom line impact of large volatile merchants like Cash App and eBay. We believe the positive sentiment is warranted, despite being eroded now by the recent Trump Tariffs sell-off. Finetuning our model, including an increase of the financial income on the large cash position, leads to a new TP of €1.750; reit...
Starting at the end of last year and continuing into the weeks leading up to the new U.S. presidential administration, there has been what seems like a flurry of settlements and other regulatory actions targeting payments and fintech companies.
>Conclusion: The >20% revenue growth path is continuing well - The 3Q24 net revenue growth of +21% yoy (cc) was 1-2pp less than we expected. As a consequence of the reduction of business of one single low revenue (high TPV / low take rate) client the Q3 TPV was lower and the take rate was higher. Most important is that the revenue growth remains at the >+20% level. The limited FTE growth and focus on profitable clients increases our confidence in the EBITDA margin exp...
Volumes continue to be soft, if stable, for “legacy” players with Nexi reporting 3% y/y volume growth in Q3 (as in Q2) - identical trends to Worldline (see Q3 write up HERE) . Adyen volumes are of course well ahead; whilst legacy players confront macro pressures, and more, Adyen’s ability to gain share is both notable – and indeed essential for the equity story.
After a rollercoaster day, the stock seems to have landed in a sensible place: small miss, small down. We thought the earnings call was solid, as good as we were likely to get, management sounding confident on accelerating growth into FY 25.
>Conclusion: Net revenue growth +21% cc being -just- 1% less than expected - The 3Q24 net revenue growth was +21% cc being -just- 1% less than expected. We understand that with a high growth company even 1% less is relevant but we do not have to change our revenue estimates for the future in any material way. We keep our Outperform as the +21% constant revenue growth show the business model is working well. Net revenue growth Q3 +21% at cc vs +22% expect...
