Scout24’s share price has fallen to a new 52-week low following a sentiment-driven sell-off in platform and software stocks amid renewed AI concerns. Importantly, this de-rating has not been triggered by a deterioration in fundamentals. Scout24 continues to benefit from a resilient marketplace ecosystem, strong pricing power and highly visible cash generation. On a 9M basis, the company has generated around EUR 200m in free cash flow with conversion of roughly 70% of ordinary operating EBITDA. Disciplined capital allocation, including substantial share buybacks, further enhances free cash flow per share. At current levels, the valuation appears disconnected from the company’s long-term cash flow compounding potential, offering an attractive opportunity for quality-oriented investors. We reiterate our BUY rating and PT EUR 129.00. The full update can be downloaded under https://research-hub.de/companies/scout24-se

TKMS is heading into Q1 earnings with solid operational momentum and limited downside risk. We expect sales of around EUR 545m, compared to EUR 569m last year, and adjusted EBIT of approximately EUR 24m, compared to EUR 31m. The apparent year-on-year decline is largely driven by the effects of the IFRS 15 accounting standard, rather than underlying execution. Project progress remains stable and consistent with last year, meaning that last year's figures are not fully comparable and overstate the perceived slowdown. Looking beyond Q1, we believe that an upgrade to the margin guidance is increasingly likely. Current mid-term EBIT guidance of >7% appears increasingly conservative in light of structurally tight yard capacity, improving pricing power and execution tracking ahead of legacy assumptions. Together with sizeable tender potential in surface vessels and submarines, this supports an attractive risk-reward profile and underpins our price target of EUR 125.00.

Bechtle AG reported preliminary FY25 results broadly in line with expectations, confirming a good year-end performance despite a challenging market. Business volume rose 8% to EUR 8.6bn, while revenue increased 2% to EUR 6.4bn. FY25 EBT reached about EUR 324m, close to forecasts, with Q4 momentum driven by recovering municipal demand. However, FY-margins remained under pressure due to cautious investment behavior among SMEs and public-sector uncertainty. Management’s FY26 outlook is cautiously optimistic and highlights demand volatility, pricing risks, and potential supply bottlenecks. Given these uncertainties, the HOLD rating is maintained with a revised EUR 44.00 (before EUR 48.00) price target.

Staige One AG (“Staige”) reported preliminary FY25 results with revenues of c. EUR 2.1m and EBITDA of around EUR -2.4m, reflecting a clear top-line shortfall versus expectations, while profitability remained broadly in line. Sequential improvement in H2 FY25 confirms operating leverage and disciplined cost management. Importantly, management disclosed an industrial and public-sector pipeline exceeding EUR 6m, including a growing share of scalable, license-based opportunities, with initial six-figure revenues already realized. FY26 guidance of c. EUR 4.0m revenues and EBITDA break-even implies a reset but appears achievable given pipeline visibility and run-rate momentum. Despite elevated execution risk, the improved qualitative profile supports continued upside optionality. We therefore reiterate our Spec. BUY but with lower PT of EUR 2.50 (prev. EUR 3.30).

Mayr-Melnhof has announced a non-cash EUR 65–75m impairment in FY25 for its Board & Paper division, reflecting cautious long-term cash flow assumptions in a structurally challenged market. Importantly, the FY25 outlook signals operational resilience, with adjusted EBITDA and adjusted operating profit expected at roughly the same level as in FY24. Earnings quality is expected to improve gradually, supported by the successful ramp-up of the “Fit-for-Future” program, which targets more than EUR 150m in sustainable profit improvements by 2027. Despite ongoing sector pressure, MM’s strong asset quality, solid balance sheet and valuation below book value provide a robust foundation for upside, supporting our BUY rating. We adjust estimates mainly to reflect the impairment charge and confirm our price target of EUR 110.00.

Siemens Healthineers (SHL) delivered a solid Q1 FY26, confirming guidance despite ongoing weakness in China. Revenue rose 3.8% yoy to EUR 5.4bn, driven by strong performances in Imaging (+5.7% yoy) and Precision Therapy (+5.9% yoy), both showing stable or improving margins. However, Diagnostics declined 3.1% yoy due to China’s sourcing policies, with adj. EBIT margin falling to 2.1%. Adjusted EPS decreased 3% to EUR 0.49, although underlying growth excluding FX and tariffs reached ~17% yoy. SHL reiterated its FY26 outlook, supported by strength in core segments and strategic initiatives underpin the targets. However, we only anticipate revenues at the lower end of guidance range, due to continued weakness in China and persistent FX/tariff burdens. With only smaller fine-tuning changes to our estimates, we reduce our price target to EUR 53.00 (before EUR 56.00). Remains a BUY.

RENK held its Q4 pre-close call yesterday which mostly confirmed our estimates. Year-end execution was strong, supported by resilient defense OEM demand, with VMS once again the key growth driver and adj. EBIT expected to land close to our expectations. However, FCF could disappoint optically due to the timing shift of advanced payments into Q1 2026. The low cash conversion under our estimates understates underlying performance and largely reverses in FY26E. Absent this timing effect, Q4 FCF would have materially exceeded consensus. FY25 guidance of EUR 210–235m adj. EBIT remains achievable despite multiple headwinds, underlining strong cost discipline. The FY26 outlook remains intact (unlike Rheinmetall’s outlook), supported by a robust German pipeline and high order visibility in VMS, while platform mix and export restrictions remain the key swing factors for revenues and margins. HOLD, PT 53.00. The full update can be downloaded under https://research-hub.de/companies/renk-group-ag

123fahrschule revised its FY25 earnings guidance, now expecting EBITDA of around EUR -1.3m, marking a clear guidance miss after the target had already been lowered in September. The deviation is driven by adjustment items and one-off effects, while adjusted EBITDA of around EUR 0.85m is broadly in line with our estimate of EUR 0.9m. One-off personnel costs and impairments on receivables weigh on reported results but are backward-looking. Management provided an FY26 EBITDA outlook of EUR 1.5 to 2.5m, supporting the operating leverage case. We lower our price target to EUR 5.50 (before EUR 6.00) but maintain our BUY rating.

At a well-attended mwb Research roundtable, cyan AG’s CEO/CTO Markus Cserna provided an operational update, broadly confirming our existing investment case. Management reiterated rollout-driven growth in the telco business and reaffirmed the structural lag between subscriber additions and revenue recognition. Europe remains the operational focus, while Africa, Asia (ex China) and a planned US market entry via a tier-2 operator in early 2026 provide longer-term optionality. Importantly, management elaborated on the SMB solution Guard 360, which is expected to become financially material from 2027 onwards, with 2026 focused on partner onboarding and pipeline build-up. FY25 guidance and sustained EBITDA profitability were reaffirmed. We maintain BUY and a EUR 4.00 price target. Final FY25 figures are expected in March, accompanied by a FY26 outlook.
