Dynamic Top Pick List Update April 2026: Adding Fagron
The tariff war between US and China has eased, but with the Iran conflict and an erratic Trump, uncertainty will continues unabated. Energy prices have gone ballistic, with gas prices doubling in Europe and has hit the cyclical stocks hard. KBC macro-econimists have hiked the inflation expectation for 2026 from 1.9% to 3.3%. While the macro-economic impact has been limited so far, a prolonged uncertain situation will result in economic damage. We continue our defensive stance in our Benelux Dyna...

D'Ieteren Model update post FY25 results
On Tuesday, D'Ieteren reported a strong set of FY25 results, driven by an impressive performance at Belron. We were particularly encouraged by management's confirmation that the claims avoidance situation in N-A is normalising. While the outlook was somewhat softer than expected, we believe the underlying assumptions are still rather conservative and therefore see room for D'Ieteren to comfortably deliver on its guidance. Following the rollover of our model, we arrive at a new SOTP valuation of ...
