https://research-hub.de/companies/INDUS Holding AG
INDUS Holding AG reported a mixed Q1 25. Sales were broadly in line at EUR 402.4m (- 1.9% yoy), but adjusted EBITA misses expectations and came in 21% yoy lower at EUR 24.9m. Engineering saw delays and cost underutilization, while Infrastructure faced rising labor costs. A one-off EUR 8.4m tax gain lifted EPS to EUR 0.63, which helped beating expectations. However, free cash flow came in weak at EUR -23.6m due to seasonal working capital and M&A spending. On a positive note, order intake was strong (+2.6% yoy), especially in Engineering, supporting a stronger H2 outlook. In addition, three bolt-on acquisitions highlight continued portfolio expansion. Despite a soft start and revised FY guidance (announced already last week), mwb research’s analysts reiterate their BUY rating and PT of EUR 33.00, backed by INDUS’ solid order book and strategic M&A focus.

https://research-hub.de/companies/Cancom SE
Cancom confirmed its preliminary Q1 25 results, reporting a 7% yoy decline in revenues to EUR 411m, as the company faced weak demand in its core markets amid a tough global macro environment. EBITDA and EBIT slumped by a steeper 31% yoy to EUR 21m and 60% yoy to EUR 5m, respectively, weighed down by soft performance in Germany (revenues: -14% yoy; EBITDA: -51% yoy), although its International segment held up well. Management anticipates demand to recover in H2 and confirmed its FY25 guidance - revenues of EUR 1.7bn-1.85n (+2.2% yoy at mid-point) and EBITDA of EUR 115m-130m (midpoint: +8.4% yoy). mwb research’s expectations of a subdued FY25 have been confirmed by management and H2 will have to be quite strong to meet the full-year guidance. Also, the analysts believe the German government's stimulus package is expected to support IT spending only from FY26. mwb research’s analysts maintain their estimates and retain their PT at EUR 27.20. After the recent share price performance, the analysts now rate the stock HOLD vs BUY earlier. The full update can be downloaded under https://www.research-hub.de/companies/Cancom%20SE

https://research-hub.de/companies/TUI AG
TUI reported FQ2 2025 results with revenues of EUR 3.7bn (+1.5% yoy) narrowly missing consensus, held back by the Easter shift into FQ3. Holiday Experiences led growth (+3.6% yoy), especially Musement (+12.4%), while Markets & Airlines grew 1.0% despite the seasonal impact. Underlying EBIT beat expectations, supported by strong Cruises and resilient Hotels & Resorts performance. Bookings were also affected by Easter timing, with Summer 2025 down 1% yoy, though ASPs rose 4% and 57% of the program is already sold. H2 pricing remains solid with ADRs up 8% in Hotels & Resorts and Cruises maintaining occupancy despite +23% capacity. Strong FQ2 cash inflows improved net debt to EUR 3.0bn, and recent credit upgrades to BB/Ba reflect strategic and financial progress. With guidance reaffirmed and estimates unchanged, mwb research’s analysts reiterate their BUY rating and EUR 16.00 PT.

https://research-hub.de/companies/Singulus Technologies AG
Singulus delivered a disappointing Q1 marked by sharply lower order intake and revenue, largely due to delayed investment decisions. However, the margin profile improved significantly thanks to an improved product mix supported by the semiconductor segment. Management reaffirmed its full-year guidance, citing a solid backlog and recent new orders in semiconductors and solid-state batteries with additional solar orders expected in the near term. That said, mwb research’s analysts continue to view the lower end of the sale guidance range as achievable, albeit order intake will need to accelerate going forward. Strategically, the company is progressing with its transformation toward a more balanced and higher-value segment mix. Leveraging its unique integration of vacuum deposition and wet-chemical technologies, Singulus is positioning itself to address niche, high-growth markets such as MRAM, micro-LEDs, medical coatings, and next-generation energy storage. This shift supports a more resilient, less cyclical business model with structurally improved profitability. mwb research’s analysts maintain their Speculative BUY rating and price target of EUR 4.00.

https://research-hub.de/companies/Verbio SE
Verbio’s Q3 25 results showed a 3.5% yoy decline in revenues to EUR 394.9m but exceeded consensus expectations by 5.6%. EBITDA came in at EUR 8.2m, below the EUR 15m forecast, but a 12.7% improvement vs. Q3 24. In the Biodiesel segment, revenue dropped 3.4% yoy, but EBITDA rose 47.4%, driven by better cost management despite lower volumes. In the Bioethanol/Biomethane segment, revenue fell 3.5% yoy, with EBITDA declining by EUR 8.8m yoy due to ramp-up costs in Nevada, US. Verbio expects FY 25 EBITDA to be at the lower end of its guidance, with net debt to stay below EUR 190m by year-end. Focus remains on Nevada’s ramp-up and operational efficiency. After adjusting their model and slightly lowering estimates due to prolonged pressure, mwb research’s analysts maintain their BUY rating with an unchanged PT of EUR 15.00. The current share price, despite a c. 47% increase from last month's low, remains an attractive entry point with 42.9% upside potential.

United Internet (UI) reported stronger-than-expected Q1 25 results. Revenue rose 4% yoy to EUR 1.6bn (+2% vs consensus), while adj. EBITDA was flat yoy at EUR 343m but beat expectations by 7%, helped by lower 1&1 network build costs (EUR 67m). The Business Applications segment outperformed, driven by strong aftermarket demand.

https://research-hub.de/companies/Deutsche Rohstoff AG
Deutsche Rohstoff reported a solid Q1 2025, with revenues up 6% yoy to EUR 59.1m, driven by higher oil volumes and a favorable production mix, despite lower oil prices. Oil production rose 9%, reflecting strong well performance from late 2024. The EBITDA margin remained stable at 73.2%, with higher personnel costs offsetting efficiency gains. Free cash flow was strong at EUR 22.1m, enabling further deleveraging as net debt fell 14% to EUR 134.3m. The company’s 2025 drilling program is underway with 4 wells drilled and 10 planned, down from initially 12 due to oil price volatility), while maintaining flexibility for further adjustments. Guidance was confirmed at EUR 170– 190m in revenue and EUR 115–135m in EBITDA (based on WTI USD 60), supported by a robust hedge book and strong liquidity.

https://research-hub.de/companies/Fraport AG
Fraport's Q1 2025 results were mixed, with revenues of EUR 869m up 6% yoy and broadly in line with expectations, but EBITDA of EUR 177.5m missed by 7.5% due to the absence of prior-year one-offs and rising personnel costs. Strong performances in International Activities & Services and Ground Handling helped offset weaker-than expected Aviation revenues and continued cost pressures. Cash flow was weak, with free cash flow at EUR -353m due to higher concession fees and ongoing capex. The FY25 outlook was confirmed, including up to 64m passengers at Frankfurt, modest EBITDA growth, and no dividend. Given the EBITDA miss, soft traffic at Frankfurt, and rising costs, estimates are slightly lowered. mwb research’s analysts reduce their price target to EUR 62.00 (from EUR 65.00) and downgrade to HOLD (from BUY).

https://research-hub.de/companies/Formycon AG
Formycon’s Q1 2025 results showed a significant decline in revenue to EUR 5.3m, mainly due to the absence of prior-year milestone payments and weaker performance from FYB201. Adjusted EBITDA was negative, reflecting lower at-equity income and higher R&D spend. Nonetheless, full-year guidance was maintained. Operationally, the launch of FYB202 in the U.S. and Europe contributed EUR 0.74m in initial revenue, while FYB201 commercialization in the U.S. was paused by commercial partner Sandoz due to pricing pressure. Looking ahead, a proposed U.S. executive order may pressure biosimilar pricing but could also support adoption. mwb research’s analysts reiterate their BUY rating and EUR 50.00 price target, though acknowledge increasing regulatory risks in the U.S. market.

https://research-hub.de/companies/Krones AG
Krones’s Q1 25 results were slightly ahead of consensus. Revenue grew 13.1% yoy to EUR 1.41bn (a 1% beat) on easing supply concerns, production efficiencies, and M&A contributions. Despite a decline in order intake (-3.2% yoy), its book-to-bill ratio was healthy at 1.02x (FY 25 target: 1x), with the backlog rising 1% qoq to EUR 4.32bn by endQ1, providing sales visibility till early Q2 2026. Meanwhile, EBITDA grew at a stronger 19.1% yoy to EUR 149m (a 3% beat) on better capacity utilization and efficiency measures and the margin improved 50bps yoy to 10.6%.

The company’s global leadership in beverage filling and packaging technology, an impressive order backlog complemented by its execution capabilities, and ongoing efficiency improvements reaffirm its ability to continue on a profitable growth path.
