MaaT Pharma Final Xervyteg phase 3 data confirm strong survival outcom...
MaaT reported the final results from the phase 3 (ARES) trial of Xervyteg (MaaT013, microbiome therapy, enema formulation) in aGvHD at the American Society of Hematology (ASH) conference, being held 6-9 December 2025. The final OS results from the phase 3 (ARES) trial of MaaT013 coming in at 54% at 1 year confirm the previously reported 54% probability of survival that was shared with the topline readout in January 2025. We believe this brings a significant benefit vs. the 15% 1-year OS reported...

UCB Detailed results from Fintepla in CDD strengthen epilepsy franchis...
UCB presented detailed results of the positive phase 3 GEMZ study with Fintepla in CDKL5 deficiency disorder (CDD). The drug showed an estimated 52.7% median reduction in countable motor seizure frequency (CMSF) compared with placebo during a 14 week titration and maintenance period and a favourable safety profile. We view this as highly encouraging in this refractory epilepsy population. Given the infantile onset of CDD, we will be curious to see as of which age, patients could be included in t...

November 2025 Holdings Report
In this report, we're sharing fresh insights on Europe's listed private equity landscape. Invest Europe's 2025 report shows listed PE vehicles realised average exit uplifts of +36% (direct) and +47% (FoF) over 2019–2024, proving highly conservative NAVs despite persistent 15–45% discounts to NAV. In addition, Solvac's discount has widened to ~44% post-spin-off, but the holding structure has lost its former yield advantage and suffers from registered-share friction. We downgrade to Hold and no lo...

EBITDA margin to be higher than 31% (previously at least 30%). This is the company's second guidance upgrade this year and shows that UCB's commercial momentum continues its upward trajectory supported by its 5 key growth drivers, including lead product Bimzelx which saw strong momentum in HS, as well as a favourable payer m...

Pharvaris Deucrictibant HAE on-demand phase 3 hits all endpoints
Our initiation thesis is materialising as Pharvaris reported topline phase 3 results for deucrictibant in on-demand HAE, which met the primary and all secondary endpoints, leading the stock to close approx. +22%. Acknowledging the limitations of cross-trial comparison, deucrictibant particularly stands out on time to complete symptom resolution being 12 hours vs. >24 hours with Ekterly, and 83% of attacks resolved with 1 dose vs.

argenx A catalyst rich year ahead
argenx is set for a catalyst rich year ahead and has five phase 3 trial results with its lead product, Vyvgart, as well as from the next in line product empasiprubart. Those programs are supported by positive proof of concept data, and successful phase 3 results could expand the company's commercial opportunity and bring it closer to its Vision 2030 target of having 50K patients on treatment. Going into 2026, we believe continued commercial momentum and pipeline expansion potential could bring a...

Shurgard Bolt-on acquisition in Sweden for 20.9m
Shurgard acquired two Sesam Self Storage facilities in Lund and Helsingborg, Sweden, from Granitor. The deal closed on 2/12/25, adding 11,200 sqm of space across 1,800 units. The occupancy currently stands at approx. 20%. Both freehold properties will be remotely managed from existing Shurgard sites as part of its cluster strategy. This was illustrated in our recent property tour and reduces the headcount per store. It also brings more FTE together in 1 location which increases the job satisfact...

Cementir Holding Closing of sale of Turkish Kars plant
The closing of the earlier announced sale of the Turkish Kars cement plant streamlines Cementir's Turkish operations with the remaining part being the activities in Western & Central Türkiye. We remind that at the time of the recent 3Q results release Cementir confirmed its FY25 guidance which calls for a Non-GAAP EBITDA of € 415m (+4% y/y) and which implies a strong 4Q. Cementir's diversified footprint with some key regional strongholds like Denmark and Belgium along with a deeply vertically in...

The multifunctional site spans 53.5k sqm with a 20k sqm warehouse and 2.5k sqm offices from 2005 (renovated 2023). Thanks to the spacious parking, Montea believes there is expansion capacity and it expect a NOI yield of at least 7%. The site is vacant at the moment (offered by CBRE), but Montea is in negotiation with a tenant. The location is close to the E313 highway connecting A...

Biotalys Received regulatory approval for Evoca
Biotalys announces it has received regulatory approval for Evoca (its first Biofungicide) from EPA, the US Environmental Protection Agency. We maintain our Buy rating. Recall we already upped our TP from €6.1 to €7.5 end October 2025 when EPA issued proposed registration decision for Evoca. At that moment, the EPA also posted a final rule exempting Evoca's active ingredient residues on treated crops from tolerance requirements. Positive is that no maximum residue limits will apply given Evoca's ...

Aalberts Divestment announcements as per strategic plan of last Decemb...
Aalberts updated the market on its divestment programme as announced at last December's CMD. We appreciate the execution of the strategic plan which so far resulted in the July acquisition of the South-Asian semicon player GVT and today's disposals of some European Industrial and Building operations. As the disposal of Metalis (Industry) and equity dilution in KAN (Building) will only result in a modest book profit we estimate the transaction will not trigger a large SBB, especially as the dilut...
