Akzo Nobel Sale of 75% Akzo Nobel India stake leads to € 900m net cash...

Unsurprising and in line with earlier announced strategic guidelines, Akzo Nobel announced to have signed an agreement to divest its 75% stake in Akzo Nobel India for net cash proceeds of c. € 900m, with the overall deal valuation roughly in line with current stock market valuation. The EV/EBITDA of the transaction is a very healthy 22x multiple. Akzo will use the proceeds to partly deleverage (€ 500m) while it intends to launch a €400m share buyback program after closing. We expect Akzo to cont...

Dynamic Top Pick List Update June: Removing Merus, Shurgard and Adyen ...

In this June update, we've made four adjustments to the KBC Securities Dynamic Top Pick List: 1.Merus (Removed – 27 May) was removed following the release of strong interim Phase 2 data at the ASCO 2025 conference. Its lead asset, petosemtamab, in combination with Keytruda, showed a 63% overall response rate in first-line treatment of head and neck cancer—significantly outperforming Keytruda monotherapy. The resulting share price surge validated our investment thesis. 2. Adyen (Removed) has de...

Basic-Fit/Strong 1Q25 and momentum continues/BUY

We keep our BUY rating and €30.0 target price. However, we add BFIT back to the ING Benelux Favourites list after it reported a strong 1Q25 trading update, being resilient vs tariff wars and, more importantly, tackled the refinancing of the CB with the new funding obtained while providing comfort on the cash component. The €35m investment in 24/7 gyms in France is well explained and bearing fruits (supported by extra membership ingrowth) while offering upside in earnings if and when the 24/7 mod...
