Under modified terms of Planethic’s bond established in late 2024, the company to our understanding was obligated to pay EUR 1.25m, representing 7.5% interest and a 5% principal repayment, on February 24, 2026. As far as we know, this payment remains outstanding. Our understanding is that after a seven-day grace period, bondholders maintain the right to demand immediate redemption under §7a of the bond terms. We are not aware if any bondholders have demanded redemption or plan to do so. If a substantial part of bondholders would demand redemption, it could overextend Planethic’s ability to repay. Taking into account these uncertainties, we put our price target and rating under review. The full update can be downloaded under https://research-hub.de/companies/planethic-group-ag

tk nucera has lowered its FY26 guidance, mainly due to temporary setbacks in the Green Hydrogen (gH2) segment, including higher than expected optimization costs and the termination of a U.S. pilot project. These factors, combined with accounting-related effects, weigh on short-term revenue and profitability, while the Chlor-Alkali (CA) segment continues to perform solidly, partially offsetting gH2 weakness. The revision is largely technical and project-related, leaving the mid- to long-term outlook intact. With a new major order from Spain, we expect order intake in gH2 to further pick up soon, supporting revenue growth in the coming years, with service revenues from completed gH2 projects gradually stabilizing margins. Geopolitical tensions, including the Iran conflict and the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, have highlighted the importance of energy independence, potentially accelerating hydrogen adoption even beyond climate goals. The guidance cut has minimal impact on valuation; the value lies in the hydrogen market ramp-up. Therefore, we maintain BUY and PT of EUR 15.00.

Sartorius’ CMD outlines a refined strategy focused on biopharma, emphasizing high-growth, high-margin areas like single-use technologies and cell analytics while improving supply chain efficiency and scale. Mid-term market growth of 7–9% is expected, led by Bioprocess at 8–10%. The company targets organic revenue growth of 8–11%, slightly above market, with strong visibility from 80% recurring revenues. Margins should improve modestly through mix and scale. However, the update offers limited new insights and aligns with prior assumptions. Given high valuation multiples and external risks, the risk-reward remains unattractive, supporting a SELL stance with a slightly higher price target of EUR 190.00 (before EUR 183.00), despite solid fundamentals and stable long-term growth prospects overall.

Fraport’s FY25 results showed a modest revenue beat at EUR 4.4bn (+0.9% vs. expectations), driven by stronger airport fees in Frankfurt and robust passenger growth across key international assets. EBITDA reached a record EUR 1.44bn in line with forecasts and supported by improved margins in Q4. The company generated positive free cash flow for the first time in seven years, enabling a new two-phase dividend policy that prioritizes deleveraging (fixed EUR 1.00/share until leverage drops below 5.0x, then shifting to a 60-80% payout). Looking ahead, FY26 guidance indicates continued operational progress with EBITDA growing up to ~4% yoy in line with expected passenger growth of ~4% at midpoint. However, net profit will decline due to higher depreciation and interest expenses from Terminal 3. On the positive side, free cash flow and balance sheet ratios are set to improve. Overall, the outlook matches our expectations, leading to an unchanged EUR 62.00 price target and SELL recommendation.

Siltronic is showing early signs of a bottom in 300mm, with initial spot price stabilization, improving utilization and supportive customer behavior, suggesting demand is being deferred rather than lost; however, the recovery remains uneven, with persistent inventory overhang and pricing pressure in 200mm, while structural factors in memory and AI continue to limit wafer demand translation and weigh on end markets such as PCs and smartphones. Combined with ongoing FabNext dilution, this keeps earnings recovery path uncertain. While valuation appears undemanding, we see limited near-term catalysts and maintain our SELL rating and EUR 41.00 price target.

Blue Cap’s FY25 preliminary results were broadly in line with expectations, with revenue of EUR 129.1m slightly below estimates but profitability exceeding forecasts, achieving a 5.5% EBITDA margin. Despite weak demand, the company’s margin-focused strategy improved operational quality, with Industrials delivering strong margins and Business Services showing recovery through cost control. Portfolio exits significantly strengthened the balance sheet, resulting in a net cash position of EUR 52.1m and enhanced financial flexibility for future acquisitions. FY26 guidance appears conservative, leaving room for upside. Overall, Blue Cap demonstrates solid progress, improved resilience, and remains attractively valued with further growth potential. We therefore reiterate our BUY rating with unchanged PT of EUR 29.00. The full update can be downloaded under https://research-hub.de/companies/blue-cap-ag

Mayr-Melnhof Karton AG delivered a resilient FY25 performance despite weaker-than-expected Q4 sales, which declined ~10% amid soft European demand and portfolio adjustments. Encouragingly, profitability held up well, with margins exceeding expectations in key divisions and supported by ongoing cost efficiencies from the Fit-for-Future program, which is gaining traction and has an increased improvement target. The company also strengthened its financial position, generating positive free cash flow, reducing leverage, and announcing a more shareholder-friendly dividend policy with a higher-than-expected EUR 2.00 payout. While the outlook for 2026 remains cautious due to macro and industry headwinds, MM’s solid execution, improving efficiency measures, and enhanced capital returns underpin the investment case. We slightly reduce our price target to EUR 105.00 (from EUR 110.00) and maintain a BUY recommendation.

Pyramid’s preliminary FY25 results showed solid revenue growth of 9% to EUR 74.5m, slightly below guidance, but were overshadowed by a significant EBITDA miss at EUR 2.2m due to losses in the Asia business. Even adjusted EBITDA of EUR 2.7m indicates some softness in the core operations. The disposal of the faytech Asia units via MBO marks a key strategic step, reducing complexity, eliminating volatile low-margin exposure, and removing around EUR 3m in liabilities, while retaining European distribution rights. FY26 guidance (EUR 87-93m revenue, EUR 4.2-4.7m EBITDA) points to a strong recovery, supported by a streamlined structure and core market focus. Overall, despite a weak FY25, the outlook improves, underpinning a more focused and higher-quality equity story. We reiterate our BUY rating albeit with lower PT of EUR 1.35 (prev. EUR 1.50) as we cautiously model at the lower end of the guidance. The full update can be downloaded under https://research-hub.de/companies/pyramid-ag
